This is where concepts bloom; My first publically releasedgadget>, created in DesktopX. This simple standalone application presents the sleek, elegant glass theme of Windows Vista?!

I need coders, or experianced DesktopX designers to help me with features! If you think you can help, PM me, or email me at [email protected].

I need:

-Address to appear in address bar/title bar

-Preview pane/menu bar to change colour according to folder type

-Icons to change in title bar/address bar/preview pane

-Status information to appear on preview pane

*UPDATE (0.1.42)*

-Created separate IE7/Explorer files

Working on a series. Taskbar, start menu, context windows...

We'll see. I need coders; I suck. :no::

Looks pretty nice, defniately needs a lot of work still.

Be specific. This is a beta release, and I need to know what could be better! Currently I need menu bar, and icons on address/search bars. I think that's all...

Not quite sure ;)) .

@kiall:to install it to work with your main explorer navigate to C:/Windows(WinNT)/Sytem32 and find explorer.exe and rename it to explorer.exe.bak(incase something goes wrong)then just drag the vista explorer.exe into system32 and there you go!

Thank you for all the awesome comments!

Yes... I do plan on implementing resizing and maximizing, but right now I need to get somebody to do that for me. I will eventually learn code* so that I can do all that and more to make this a useable explorer/browser. In order to put in resizing, however... I would have to cut-up the backround and kick up the memory usage (which is already around 22k, for me). The glass and shadows are actually one image, to save memory.

*Yes that's right, I don't know code. What are you going to do about it?

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
    • Last time I used Pascal was in college about 40 yrs ago, programmed an inventory database for my exam.
    • If they don't sell enough of the 1st gen then there won't be a 2nd gen
    • Epic fail, should've added an eSata port on the back, also if the memory/NVME are soldered then they're hardly gonna sell any, first thing most people do with their Steamdeck is, or used to be, replacing the NVME with a 2TB one. At that price they should, possibly for the first time, offer an installments option, say 24 months, they may sell a lot if they do. I'm sure they would have no shortage of credit companies willing to partner.
