It's not quite much of a shell replacement but:

How To: Customize Your Own Killer "Enigma" Desktop

Featured Desktop: Windows Vista with a Live Thumbnail Sidebar

Taking elements from those two, I am using Emerge Desktop and Rainmeter. It's very basic right now but after I took the following screenshot I managed to change the upper-left elements to have some color to stand out. I'd like to change the appearance of the contexual menus now.

Emerge is a little asshole-ish at first because it likes to hide and not show the Tray and Task items (upper left, in that order) until you Control-click them.

I'd at least like to get my clock to also show up over everything else but I'll make do with minimizing. Oh, and my Windows key is effectively useless now. Even better: I can't use my touch-based controls on my keyboard.

EDIT: After a little tweaking, I might get used to this sort of arrangement:

Could probably get a system tray clock. It's badass to have the whole full screen open.
