The project's homepage is the same as the one for Calmira Longhorn. It was going to be based on Calmira Longhorn 3.6 and contain new features.

On December 11, 2008, support and development started again.
#Calmira name software#
On August 19, 2008, Peter Protus, developer of Calmira Longhorn, announced that he stopped both the development of the software as well as support. Also, the "Frenchbutton bug" was now fixed. In the new version new features included a vista style logon screen, an "X" button in the upper-right corner of windows, and LFN Support. After an extended time with no new updates (2 years) Calmira Longhorn 3.6 was released. Version 3.5 still had some bugs around dialog buttons (they are showed in French).

There used to be a shell replacement that made Windows 3.1 look like Mac OS 6 or 7, but I don’t recall it’s name.Ĭalmira is very clever and probably worth the download if you are still stuck in the past. If they are happy with it, who the hell am I to say otherwise? I cannot imagine using Windows 3.11 for my primary system, but, I suppose, there are those who do so because they can or they are just in denial that the world has moved on. Judging by the amount of screenshots and users on the site, Windows 3.1 still appears to be the operating environment of choice for many people. Some of its users have even gone so far as to attempt to replicate Windows XP and one developer has even tried to replicate Longhorn, though it is not nearly as successful as the XP or 95 attempts. The laptop barely runs Windows 98, but it ran DOS/Windows 3.11 just fine.Ĭalmira does a halfway decent job of replicating the Windows 95 shell. I had two hard disks for it: one with DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 and another drive with Windows 98 installed. I remember trying this several year ago on an old Toshiba laptop that I had around the house. It tries to make you think you are really using Windows 95. One of the links takes you to Calmira is a replacement shell for Windows 3.1. And this where I discovered that there is still a decent amount of people who are clinging to Windows 3.1. Finally, there is really nice links page. Calmira XP: Modified version that tries to mimic the Windows XP interface.
The author made a decent attempt to chronicle GUIs of yesteryear, like GEM, Visi-On, Mac OS, Lisa and Windows. Calmira LFN: Modified version that supports Long File Names, better icon shading, a My Documents icon, and a dialog to change the wallpaper. Indeed, there is an anti-Internet Explorer section on the site. In actuality, it is mostly just a site that takes every chance it gets to trash Microsoft. This site is, supposedly, dedicated to the history of the GUI. I was going through some links and came across a link to something called ToastyTech.
