Windows 8 Concept

Post by TheBlackParrot »

I was bored.

Desktop:

Took about 3 hours, all in GIMP.

Windows Explorer:

Took about 2 hours, mostly in GIMP, some in Paint.

(I don't think this would fit with the Art Thread; it's not art. lol)

64 bit is just software. it has nothing to do with UI.

All I know how to do is partially recreate the taskbar. I'm sure someone who knows how could recreate the window borders and buttons and stuff like that.
