Winfile - The File Manager for Dinosaurs ( like me! )

[MrBcx]

I mentioned it before, I LOVE the original Microsoft File Manager from Windows 3.x and Windows NT

Several years ago, Microsoft released the source code on Github:

https://github.com/microsoft/winfile

... and I started going nuts with it, changing little things to suit my sensibilities.

One thing I always wanted to change in Winfile, was the color scheme - I wanted a
DARK MODE.  I've tried several times over the years but always gave up because the
source code is unbelievably confusing ( Winfile is 28 years old ).

I spent all day today and finally came up with something a lot closer to DARK MODE.
I might tweak the icons a little more but otherwise I think I'll be happy with this.  The
Github page has a screenshot of the current, unmolested version of Winfile.exe, to give
you an understanding of my changes.

MrBcx,
This is incredibly cool! While I can't see your changes myself obviously, I had no idea Microsoft open sourced this and this C code is absolutely fascinating. I'm a total sucker for things like this
Thanks for sharing, you've got me going down a rabithole now!

I'll be checking this out, but being a Directory Opus user for years I would probably never switch. The power of opus is incredible.

Likewise, but Zabkat's Xplorer2 file manager over here.

I have used Xplorer2, but keep going back to Dopus. I have used Dopus since my Amiga days, and it is unmatched and the one utility I gladly pay for. You can customize everything in it and its native abilities are untouched by any other file manager, IMO.
