Here's something I'm working on in my spare time - an imitation of the Windows 95 DOS Prompt:  It's currently in early development - the command prompt sort of works? But the UI does not. Download: Console95-preview.exe (84.5 KB) |

You should be proud of yourself, that's amazing. Good job.

Intriguesting.
Out of curiousity, what language is this written in? And do you plan to, say, open-source it at some point, if you don't mind me asking?

You can see this by the path in the console: "C:\Users\*\source\repos" is a folder that Visual Studio uses to store projects "(project dir)\bin\Debug" is the default build path for Visual Studio

Yes, it's C#. (please never mention VB.NET again lol) The UI is built on WPF to be exact... though I might switch to Winforms because font customization is a mess - the only font chooser available by default is the Winforms one that uses a completely different font class. Also, does anyone know what are these buttons supposed to do? They seem to crash my Win95 VM for some reason...  |

Before you go to such extreme lengths, erm... www.codeproject.com/Articles/368070/A-WPF-Font-Picker-with-Color this may be of use. |

//offtopic You think current/"modern" desktop Winforms is extreme? Try .net Compact Framework Winforms (with C# 3.0 !). Guaranteed hours of immense pain and lots of fun activities, such as: - Reinventing the wheel
- Coding your own controls for anything more complex than a listbox
- Reinventing the wheel again because the previous implementation broke
- Dealing with barely functional databinding (or, preferably, not dealing with it at all)
- oh cool i've never seen a windows mobile bluescreen before
- Waiting for the debugger to load (it takes forever)
- Troubleshooting ActiveSync errors
- Giving up on everything and writing the ugliest code you've ever seen (but is it really an issue if it works well?)
- Being the last person in the entire universe still using .net CF
But hey, at least my HP iPAQ 214 Enterprise will never become obsolete if I keep making my own software for it, amirite?

Sounds doable.

...I meant relatively speaking, obviously there are far more extreme lengths that one could go to than WinForms. I just wanted to point out that you may not have to scrap the GUI work you have thus far if the thing I linked was a sufficient improvement >.> |
