Hi everyone ,
so about 2 or 3 years ago we started on a project to make
a linux distro that would look like Windows Longhorn (And work like it too) , since then we have learned allot , for example i have learned that it is impossible to maintain,
for this reason and many more , we have decided to scale down to a transformation pack , with one , simple (yet complicated) goal :
Longhorn .
So it's features in a nutshell ?
1. Glass borders Like in Longhorn ( Practically done )
2. Longhorn Style Explorer (with the nice details bar that can change colour with folder contents , change actions
3.WINFS Style File management .
4.Longhorn Style Desktop with optional Sidebar
5.A fixed Blur Plugin for Compiz
See the below image , note the purple area , this is a styled background that changes colour/style in different locations (ex : purple for images , and displays related information/actions
as below :
We really need developers for this project and a logo to replace the windows flag in its grahpics , (copyright reasons :S )
People who know python , C , or nautilus scripting, anything , please we need your help , we believe our idea could bring more choice to ubuntu , not ripping of windows 7 or XP , but Longhorn ( which is by the way a concept os from Microsoft that was never released , and was replaced by the horror we call vista xD )
I will be setting up git/launchpad etc in the next few days
