Do NOT expect super clean code or great organization, it was never the goal. Feel free to refactor things that need refactoring, and submit a PR if something is bothering you. I claim NO copyright over any of the assets used in this project. Most of them belong to Microsoft, and there is no goal to do anything illegal with them. This is just a nostalgia project for all us old Windows fans. Contributions are welcome! Cleaning or refactoring code is appreciated but not required — this is a creativity-driven hobby project.
