Hey everyone, 👋
I’m working on a PC operating system project and I’m looking for some help / guidance with coding and more.

Right now, I’m focusing on:

• Custom wallpapers system (dynamic + user selectable)
• Icon design and placement (desktop + taskbar style)
• Overall UI styling (I need ideas for a Windows 7 like wallpaper/Frutiger aero)
• Making everything feel consistent across apps/windows

If anyone has experience with:

• Coding
• OS-style UI design
• Desktop environments
• Icon packs or design workflows
• Wallpaper engines or dynamic backgrounds

I’d really appreciate advice or even just pointing me in the right direction 🙏

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a project idea for a custom operating system and I’m looking for someone experienced who might want to help.

The concept is an OS/UI system that combines:

• iPhone 1 / early iOS-style design
• Android KitKat style UI elements

I’m mainly focused on the visual + UI side right now, but I’d love to help with:

• Basic system apps (settings, file manager, etc.)
• Wallpapers
• Icons

If you’re interested or want to help, you can reach me here:

Hey, I’ve started working on my own OS from scratch and I’m looking for advice + ideas.

Right now, I’m doing everything inside WSL (coding, building, and running it):

• Writing it in Assembly/C
• Building with NASM
• Running/testing it using QEMU (doing this all inside WSL)

What I need help with:

• What should I focus on first then next?
• Anyone who can help or give good tutorials/resources you’d recommend?
• Is WSL good for everything a good setup long term, or should I switch to something else?
• Any cool or unique features you think I should add?

I’m trying to make something kind of like an iPhone 1 and Android KitKat OS eventually, but I’m open to ideas.

Hope this message made sense and any help or suggestions would be awesome!
