Either a GUI version of Blitz 2, or a GUI for Blitz 2.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/210/21081.html

A “graphical OS”, but the graphics at least look cool.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/172/17251.html

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/138/13801.html

This may be a pretty good shell, with power and function. Lots of plugins, but it does needs emulators for other shells.

Rascall 0.9 w/ TI-85 emu
Looks nice and has some features.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/334/33456.html
TI-86 Windows 95
Probably the “favorite” so far, since it’s graphics are very detailed and actually look like Windows.

One of many programs cloning Windows. This one has dithered menu bars…
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/118/11865.html

More silly Windows clones.
