    Cool Need C, C++,C# Programer to make a windows replacement shell Like BlackBox

    Hi im looking for someone to make me a windows replacement shell, I want all what windows XP dose I want it to look deferent then windows and i want to be able to add icons to replacement shells desktop and have a add and remove programs built in and i want a deferent file system just like windows uses exe i want to us something like xbn or something its up to you how it can be done i have a replacement shell made that i found on planet source code, but it in Visual Basic has everything i want in a replacement shell and i want to have a text editor in the program that i can type and i then it asks me to save to the replacement shell desktop. And i want an add remove program so i can add games and software to the menu. Like windows,And the start menu is on the bottom i want a menu on top of the screen so basically i want to replace windows explorer or redesigning it. I want everything that windows dose but programmed in vb6.0,C++,C#, C Its up to you what Langruge to us. IM a programmer my self and i just dont have the time to do this. And i want a Recycle Bin so i can throw stuff away just like windows and a Ctrl alt delete to close windows if not responding. And have its own background program to change the background and menu button. So basically all most everything windows has, just tell me how much it will cost i will pay really good if this gets done just like what i asked, But i uploaded a project i found of planet source code and its really nice just need some more stuff added to it, Oh and one of the biggest things is i want the windows to look deferent not like Microsoft windows with the x button an the - button i want it to be Deferent. i do not want any windows that has to do with Microsoft windows, just like when you open a file you have to us Microsoft windows to find it I want that to be on its own not using any Microsoft windows commands and stuff like that. If you want more info on what i need done please tell me and i will try to explain as much as i can thanks for reading my post.contains all the main Windows Desktop elements, like Desktop, TaskBar, Tray, Main Menu, DDE
    with its own Control Panel, tasklist, etc, and most of it can be skinnable though the interface and applications, and utilities filemanager Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointing Device and system monitors, a clock, desktop replacement a natural way of extending the classic desktop metaphor navigation Internet browser, add remove software, and add icons to desktop more coming soon still writing it.

    I have renamed this thread to a more descriptive title, similiar to the title you used for your (now deleted) threads on this topic in the other forums. Please keep to this thread.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    If you're going to try and get someone to do this (presumably for free?) for you, you shouldn't attack them with a giant wall of text. Break it up and/or add a TL;DR at the end.

    This actually is addressed somewhere in the wall of text, though understandably difficult to find:

    ...So basically all most everything windows has, just tell me how much it will cost i will pay really good if this gets done just like what i asked...
    I'm curious about how good "really good" is, especially for this task.

    O_o

    If your description was less idiotic I could almost certainly tell you the combination of free and open source software you needed to installed to get exactly what you want.

    You don't need a programmer for this. This stuff exists. You just need to use it.
