Super cool, although I would not use the Windows logo for the "Start" menu. Definitely change that and call it something else! I'd imagine Microsoft jealously defends that sort of thing.
- Kwpolska 5y agoIf you look around the filesystem and find the author’s résumé in the Documents folder, you’ll find out he works for Microsoft. So I’d guess Microsoft doesn’t mind as much.
- DustinBrett 5y agoHehe ya I actually just started there last month. They don't know much about my project but atm at least I am confident that it's ok.
- ModernMech 5y agoOh good, that's a relief!
- kroltan 5y agoIt uses Windows design and icons for everything else, too. Would require a complete visual overhaul to divorce from MS.
- DustinBrett 5y agoI've attempted to isolate things enough where it should be a mostly easy process to change "themes". But ya it would require a lot of new stuff/gfx.
- xattt 5y agoI feel that direct mimicry of UIs and designs is a shibboleth of someone just starting out and starting to getting a good handle on tools. Another is enthusiasm to share your own work with the world. Neither is bad, but just something to be aware of. I saw this in my own early work before I reached an equilibrium of spontaneous original designs.
- FpUser 5y ago>"I feel that direct mimicry of UIs and designs" Unless the unique design is the goal on its own why waste time?
- DustinBrett 5y agoI just love try to copy details of something. I've been coding for 20 years, this is just a passion of mine.
- DustinBrett 5y agoThanks for the tip! I am hoping it's ok as I have seen many people use the logo and I actually got it from the free font-awesome SVG icons.
