Maybe this guy has some insight on how to speed up the GUI design. His work is pretty amazing for a one man campaign to extend Win 3.x and DOS. Reminds me alot of the SEAL project.

Please have also a look at the following discussions, where already about Calmira was talked:

It seems, that Calmire is useless for ReactOS.

my initial response was going to be the same (Calmira again, 16bit etc...) but I think the point here may be that this is a modification of the original project, if the author can do this to Calmira maby they would like to and be quite capable of doing some good work with reactos explorer aswell. Has anybody asked?

Well, you can contact them and see if they are interested, just try to represen ReactOS as good as possible, if you contact someone in ReactOS name you represent many people.
