Cairo Shell: A Windows Shell Alternative

[winvienna]

Here is a cool website to do with the Windows Shell: http://www.cairoshell.com/
I am part of the forums and have been for about 6 months now so feel free to join. If you know any C#, thats what there primarily looking for but I think the also need people with knowledge of .NET as well. On the Cairo user forums I am : FEAR
I kind of use that as my username because I love the game.

Thank you very much, and I will see what I can provide.

Best wishes.

That just looks like Mac OS X Leopard Aqua ported to Windows.

My only issue with this system is that it looks too much like OSX, and while I do like the fact that -in my humble opinion- it looks nicer with this colour scheme, its too close and that could be viewed negatively by all the OS communities out there. A few teaks to move it in a different direction are all it really needs.

However, I support this project and will continue to watch its development - maybe even try it when the time comes.

Thank you for posting this, I never would have discovered it otherwise!

Private Alpha testing for the Cairo Shell is expected to start on June 29. Open Beta Tests will begin after that. Come join the growing community that is eagerly awaiting this new shell.

But as for theming most of these features a load of bull, because after trying the software, most of my programs, such as Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition, Expression Studio 2, Internet Explorer 8 and also windows with glass effects did not work.
Please tell me this thing was for XP and Ubuntu.
Please read what I said in gest and you will see my input between the lines.
Thanks, CybX.cybx

I'm curious what software you said you tried. I assume that you do NOT mean Cairo. I am on the Alpha team, and it has not been released yet.
