(Help wanted) Working on Windows skinning program with Maelstrom

Post by solinus »

I (designer) and Maelstrom (developer) are working on a program that is intended to replace the Windows shell with a custom theme as shown below:
https://files.catbox.moe/8do82l.mp4
We plan to theme the taskbar, start menu, context menus, and notifications. At this time we do not plan the window buttons or programs such as file explorer.

Help wanted: Due to the effort needed, I am asking for devs that know Windows API, C/C++, and Qt/QtQuick/QML. Let me know if you can help, and I will DM you the contact info.

(also: it it against the rules to make a help wanted post?)

Still interested in contributing?
