Windows Longhorn Revival Project - For Windows 7

Windows Longhorn Revival Project 

 

About The Project

The Windows Longhorn Revival Project is a project to bring the Longhorn Hillel/Aero/Protoplex Concepts to life. Almost every app including the sidebar, Start menu, Explorer, and the Internet Explorer will be developed in WPF.

Todo List

 

• Finish up the Internet Explorer
• Start on the explorer
• Find resources(Images/buttons/etc) for the apps
• Port it to other versions of Windows (Windows 8-10 it should work on vista also I think)

 

Progress

 

Internet explorer: 40%
Explorer: 0%

Start Menu: 0%
Sidebar: 0%

 

If you guys want to help me find some of the resources or help me with the Apps just let me know because doing this all by myself is fun and all but it would be helpful if people would help me with this projects.

It should work on any computer that supports Aero which pretty much every computer does lol and as for a website I might make one if I had time to just right now I am working on the Browser app

 

Anyways 

 

I have a question for all of you does the browser and explorer work together? Because I saw an image of the explorer that had an website favorited and also is it possible to do the favorites just like on the longhorn concept?
