XP look-alike interface?
Yo:
Alot of people these days use Windows XP. Either because they have to or they are ignorant about Linux. I was thinking if we could get somebody to come up with a "luna" XP GUI skin for ReactOS so as to "keep with the times". I personally couldn't care less if I had such a look and feel to ReactOS. But others who are new to this revolutionary idea of a Windows wannabe might think it a great idea. Hopefully, we don't get a letter from Redmond requesting us to shut down or anything. Just some food for thought.

Or, because they prefer it to Linux.gnu_rocky wrote:Alot of people these days use Windows XP. Either because they have to or they are ignorant about Linux.
I'd vote, if there was an "eventually" option, but I prefer the Windows 2000 look.

I like Luna, so I voted "Yes".

Hmm this might be flame bait
I voted no.
Reason not that I like the current form.
Reason why should we set our sites so low. If we are going to cause processor overload. Lets do it well. Go Vistia style. Fully vector based graphics. Zoomable windows... Basic the full hog and then some.
Add some of our own features to improve the system as well.

Good point dark! I shoulda thought of that. But, let us be mindful that this OS shouldn't, "mess with success" by trying to make a bloated interface. I am more concerned with stability, features, and enough ease of use to make it worthwhile. I know I sound like a hipocrite by suggesting we stick with our current GUI when I stated earlier to use a more modern "Luna" style GUI.dark wrote:Keep it 2000, all future windows gui's seem to be based on it, why would you make it xp like when vista is about to come around (and so on with every version after that) They're all based on the same window and startbar functions. (maximize, minimize, close, start)
Please motivate you hate, or yours are just *personal* opinions.cmoibenlepro wrote:SharpE sux.
Use it if you want, but I don't want it to be default... I hate it!
Anyway i don't be strictly "roped" to SharpE.
My idea is to involve a standalone-project shell, so if you know another one, please signals it to us all.
(check my 'shell' list here)
