Cintel Equinox Shell - Version 1.1 Faster and more flexible alternative to the Windows UI, highly customisable through the use of skins. Equinox provides a graphically-rich desktop, and allows you to easily add your own buttons and pictures. You can also look forward to animated backgrounds, the ability to change the layout of your desktop as you see fit, adding new buttons and menus, and other visual goodies. A. web browser and FTP client, Security and networking is also included. The Equinox interface supports "skinning," which is a method of customising the overall appearance of your desktop based on a theme. Skins for Equinox can be made by anyone and are available to download from the Cintel Skins page, or using Cintel Skin Manager.Equinox, not only provides the most functional shell interface for our users, but also an increase in your overall system performance. Our new file manager, Invenio is supplied as the default file manager for Equinox, which provides many features such as file and folder encryption and backup.Equinox gives administrators complete access to user's rights and privileges, with the ability to change users' settings, block access to specific files, and control what actions within Equinox itself can be performed. Remote network login allows users' environments to be identical regardless of which computer they log-on from. All network traffic between connected clients is transparently encrypted by default, ensuring the confidentially of information sent between computers around the world. Equinox is ideally suited to real-world environments that require clients and servers to be in distant locations in relation to each other. Users' passwords can be edited and their environments controlled depending on the level of trust they are allocated. Since actions such as viewing the options window, or shutting-down the computer are all controlled by the administrator, any of the above can be disabled to prevent the user from carrying-out that operation.
