Mine is abit of a cheat since its for iOS/Mac/iPad but MoneyStats. It does balance forecasting and unlike Kualto/Dollarbird/other balance forecasting apps, you can actually buy it. No subscriptions please.

I had a similar sort of late-Windows phase before moving to Linux. While I don't think I knew about GeoShell, I would use shell replacements like LiteStep and various Blackbox clones. Customizing Windows and learning/comparing different UIs on the same system taught me concepts that made it an actual "light step" towards *nix. Sadly I don't have many screenshots from that time, and I've combed through boxshots to see if I posted any, but it looks like probably not. I did manage to find this one locally (probably from bbLean or bb4win):

Looks good man. I played with the same stuff trying to get windows to be more Linux like and not suck so much.

I remember being really proud of finding and configuring some desktop application that showed all the CPU usage, memory statistics, etc.

That, and like just adding functionality that you would think would be part of an OS like being able to control your music from someplace or customizable shortcuts.
