This is a callout to all developers on the forum. I want to create a team effort to get a complete shell replacement for Windows. It will be fully classic themed and will lack no functions from the original explorer. (Based on ROS explorer?) I’m looking for developers/programmers and possibly some graphic artists to create logos and such. Please PM me if you’re interested in helping

It should be based on ROS New (Not ROS Old, ROS Old doesn't support scaling) explorer and somehow support Open-Shell. To an extent it should also support theming (the taskbar and jumplists).

You should join the ROS team then.

You should join the ROS team then. There are many reasons why I wouldn’t want to do that. The main 2: 1. The ROS team is currently not focusing getting Windows applications working but any application. They are just being idiotic and making ReactOS a linux distro. 2. I need it to work on real Windows. My idea was that we would start from the source code, make it work on Windows and then make it completely customizable. |

You can work on Windows and contribute to Reactos.

You can work on Windows and contribute to Reactos. I think ReactOS is a project far past failure. It probably has like 3 developers left. The project also went in the wrong direction because of the team adding Linux features and utilities. So if I can’t get the Linux part out of ReactOS I will not join the development team. Told that to them and they told me that that would break the entire OS. The thing is practically held together by Linux. The only thing that’s keeping it alive is the fact that it looks exactly like Windows and that it is (was) a ‘Windows Clone’ |

It's a laughing stock of a project. |

The only way to get reactos back on track would be to build it around version 0.3.8 that would require a fork of the project use the core of 0.3.8 and add things from later builds that can be added thats a good way of leaving linux behind. |

You may have better luck with shorthorn project ^^ The best idea is to get Alex Ionescu to finish the tinykrnl for reactos which code was the main core of reactos before they threw in that horrible linux hybrid code . The main way to do this is to kickstart a complete new project which would be a fork of reactos without that unstable linux stuff... A continuation of version 0.3.9 and try to add the few things the reactos team did in a decade mainly the cmd stuff and a few control panel applets except for desk.cpl which currently is broken maybe driver support too minus the linux calls the tinykrnl 0.3.8 was made to withstand crashes while their linuxhybridcrap aka 0.4.13 makes a virtual machine crash with a bluescreen on first boot after install |

Also, this won't be Windows if we are making a entirely new operating system? |

Or something twitter.com/aionescu?lang=en he can be contacted on twitter assuming anybody of us is serious enough to create a gofundme page for a fork of reactos calling it reactwin or TcoreOS or whatever , the community here is more creative about windows than any of the linux fanboys at reactos. |
