[LATEST UPDATE 4/SEP]
Project slowly moving along with my spare time, currently implementing a GeckoFX + Xulrunner engine instead of Trident which I know most people frown on.
However the conversion is taking some time and the code has lots of minor tweaks that need to be done to control the new "GeckoWebBrowser". Other than that
maybe people will be a bit more impressed with a "non-trident shell" for once, however my main intention is still just to "design" the Ribbon UI over a pre-made engine.
Just been bored lately and decided to play around with Visual Basic a bit and decided to see what Internet Explorer would look like but also perform
with the Ribbon UI implemented instead of the "Classic" UI, this is a very basic and simple program that just adds a "Custom made" UI over the
"Web Browser" control in VB.NET. This means it's really just Internet Explorer at the core and requires that to be installed in order to run as there is
actually no engine provided.
Total work time:
2 Hours (Includes design and images that were converted from IE to this program, there is no Ribbon Control used just painstakingly custom vectors/panels)
Just a screenshot:
Here's a link to try it yourself, 400kb binary file. Place anywhere and run, it is portable as long as machine runs Windows and has Internet Explorer and .NET Framework 4.5 installed.
