LCARS Windows 8 "Modern" APP

This Is Too Cool!!

Published on February 17, 2014 By RedneckDude In Personal Computing

Hey there Trek fans! I discovered this cool app based on LCARS I thought you guys might like.

It does some cool things, I wish it did more, but it is nifty.

Just wanted to share. Check my short video. It has LCARS sounds, but they didn't make it to the vid, for some reason.

It can be obtained in the Microsoft Store.

Has anyone tried this on their Android phone yet? Looks pretty neat looking at it in the Playstore.

Since the dawn of [skinning] time there have been alternate shells to replace the standard Windows one [explorer.exe].

It's certainly not surprising people are now noticing this since the release of Win 8.

No, that's not XP ....that is Win 3.11 ....

yes, i know. my question was whether or not that particular shell inhibited standard computer use in any way.

@captainmoonlight: do you find the ui any more (or less) efficient than the windows default?
