У меня есть старый компьютер. Он работает на Windows 95. Учитывая всю легендарность и влияние данной ОС на индустрию технологий, мне стандартный Explorer.exe показался немного неудобным. Да, там можно сделать переход по папкам в одном окне, но мне недоставало некоторых функций из более старших версий Windows, которые мне очень удобны как на современном ПК, так и на старом. Хотя на момент релиза само собой вряд ли кто-то жаловался по поводу рабочего стола и его возможностей :D В итоге, возвращаясь домой из магазина, я вспомнил о наличии своих макетов на тему визуализации современных интерфейсов в плоскость Windows 95 и при ассистировании средств ИИ сделал своё видение окружения рабочего стола реальным. Понятное дело, что на сегодняшний день это кажется никому не нужным, но в целом мне было весело и в первую очередь делал эту штучку для себя. Поэтому, я был бы очень рад узнать ваше мнение о ней (и по желанию распространили мой пост) :3 Программа сделана на чистом Си, Win32 API и без зависимостей из Windows тех лет в виде IE. Весит почти 2 МБ; из которых 300 Кб это просто картинка стартовой плашки.

"Honey I swear, I have no idea where all of this stuff came from. It just kind of showed up. I have no idea how my Tandy collection tripled this morning. I promise to get it out of the kitchen" 😂😂😂😂

Okay, so, again a little sad I didn't make Montreal, but I think the System Source Swap Meet was fair consolation 😂. Who wants to see some pics? Let's go!!!! 🧵

Microsoft Basic Display Adapter from Windows 10 working in Windows 7 with Aero Glass, all entirely rendered on the CPU, no need for a WDDM GPU driver installed! Even boots on UEFI Class 3 with Secure Boot enabled! Hell has frozen over. Please don't ask for ETAs, still W.I.P! ☺️

Remember these browser interfaces? Netscape 6 (2000), Internet Explorer 6 (2001), and Mozilla 1.0 (2002). Which one was your favorite?

Lisa Office System 1.0, 1983. You tore a sheet off a stationery pad instead of launching an app, an idea the Mac dropped.

ZacOS 9 is a complete Mac OS 8/9-style desktop for Debian Linux, drawn pixel by pixel from scratch. The window manager, Sniffer file browser, menu bar and every control panel were written, so everything looks and behaves alike, down to the scroll arrows. sourceforge.net/projects/zac…
