Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I present an MS Windows XP themed GUI (Graphical User Interface) for the Colour Maximite. In other words, a gimmick of Windows XP for the Colour Maximite.

I have worked many hard months on this, and am ready to share it with the world. It may not be that impressive or maybe even a little bit buggy, but I would love some feedback on it. Please read the manual for a full list of features and instructions on how to use.




Downloads

Download the GUI Zip:

Use minicomp for the password, as BASIC does not work - see code for logon.

Nice work - wanna do an XP theme for the MM+? (rhetorical - I think!)

Hi Yourock17,

I tried your Windows and I am very impressed!
I think it is it worth to learn the ropes into your programming.

Did you develop it further? (...did you try to use a mouse?)

Thank you very much for this really nice system!
