This is a list of software that provides an alternative graphical user interface for Microsoft Windows operating systems. The technical term for this interface is a shell. Windows' standard user interface is the Windows shell; Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.1x have a different shell, called Program Manager. The programs in this list do not restyle ...
Windows 3.1 is a major release of Microsoft Windows.It was released to manufacturing on April 6, 1992, as a successor to Windows 3.0.Like its predecessors, the Windows 3.1 series run as a shell on top of MS-DOS; it was the last Windows 16-bit operating environment as all future versions of Windows had moved to 32-bit.
The original PC Tools package was first developed as a suite of utilities for DOS, released for retail in 1985 for $39.95. [1]With the introduction of version 4.0, the name was changed to PC Tools Deluxe, and the primary interface became a colorful graphical shell (previously the shell resembled PC BOSS and was monochrome.)
The shell is more than a simple cosmetic upgrade, however. Much of the functionality of later 32-bit shells has been incorporated into the Calmira software. The shell has a start menu, a task bar and a desktop that all function like those found in the Explorer Desktop of later 32-bit Windows operating systems.
Programs like MS-BOB, Packard Bell navigator, Rooms, and paridies of Bob like "Bubba" sought to isolate the user from the complexities of the desktop, while "Workplace Shell for Windows", and Calmira bring the desktops of OS/2 and Windows NT to the Windows 3.1 desktop. Even sloop manager (of which "more control CPL" survives) was a shareware shell.

Program Manager descends from Desktop Manager (also known as Presentation Manager), the shell for OS/2 1.2. [3] Unlike Desktop Manager, which presents its program groups in a simple list, and opens each group in a separate window, Program Manager opens program groups in child windows using the new multiple document interface in Windows 3.x.
