StartScreen

A Recreation of the Windows 8.x Start Screen
Made with .NET C# using WPF and WinForms

Differences with ScreenLaunch and StartScreen

StartScreen

The main app that has the StartScreen Component
This is has the Tile System and other stuff
Made using WPF C# .NET

ScreenLaunch

The app that launches the StartScreen app
this is also used to check if the User has clicked the start button or not
Made using WinForms C# .NET

Known Issues

• High Memory Usage when first launch, it stays around ~100mb after a few seconds
• (Atleast for me) All Apps lags in battery mode on laptop, aka when not plugged in
  Probably due to so much items in that Menu
• Win+* Keybinds doesn't work and opens the Start Screen Instead

How-to

To use this as a start menu, use open-shell custom commands

To-Do

• Use p/invoke or native code to replace the actual start menu instead of using Open-Shell (partially implemented)
• Do some optimization for the ram usage issue

Any help with the code/assets is appreciated
