Developer’s Description

By SilviSoft
Provide a complete shell that runs right on top of Windows.
Firedust is an OS shell that runs right on top of Windows. It gets rid of all those annoying, time-wasting features, and adds a sleek interface which helps you get more work done in less time.For once, you have before you an OS shell which you can actually live with: it's got all the different features, it's fast, and very personalized. It includes tons of different offline apps, and if those aren't enough you can make your own using two special languages native to the OS!That's right. Because Firedust doesn't only make life easier for the average user, but promotes developing as an educational experience. That means two languages, two environments. Firedust includes a block-based developing interface for console applications, and a syntax-highlighting text editor for its brand-new "FireScript" programming language.As soon as you open Firedust, you're only a couple clicks away from editing your favorite picture, or writing a letter to your dad. Firedust's innovative Sliding Menu will slide into view on mouseover without the need to click: or you can press the menu key on your keyboard to move the pointer there.
