Instructions

Be sure to check back here a lot, I'll update this as it goes along! Roadmap (Est. Release: September 2026) [DONE] Design, develop, and render a functional version of ninengine [DONE] Find a way to implement ninengine throughout project [IN PROGRESS] Rescript entire project and implement ninengine - Still migrating older apps to the new platform [DONE] Develop ninegine Injection (receive and send) [REMOVED] Develop and add account information storage - I was unable to find a good way to do this with text, so no custom names for now [DONE] Add a new Unified Design Setup - Work still needs to be done on this but it is in the project in final form [IN PROGRESS] Add back features from the pre-N rescript - Persistent start button, pointer trails, lock screen, Windows Store, Run, Movies, Disk Cleanup, iTunes, Clock (Store and iTunes will lead to an error, as in 9AE) - Dedicated screensaver button on the power corner (replaces sleep) [IN PROGRESS] Personalization expansion, pointer trails, sound theme selection, wallpaper and lock screen selection, special birthday message, screensaver selection, custom app UI positions, plus traditional Win9 options. - This makes use of a core ninengine feature to encode multiple strings into one binary string, preventing cloud data bloat. [IN PROGRESS] New central sound queue, handled by the kernel, allowing for overlapping sounds and system awareness of the currently playing sound. Also helps with size bloat due to duplicate sounds. - This enables true to life Soundscape behavior, very similar to the Win7 theme picker [DONE] UEFI, WinPBE, Boot menu updates [IN PROGRESS] Windows Media Player (formerly media), new Disk Management, new Windows Explorer - Overhauled media, explorer, new disk management, new UEFI flow, winPBE updates.
