Hello guys,
Finally the first official alpha version is available since the 05 January 2021.
After long months of research and development for me ... a long wait for you ... the software is finally out !
DURING THE ALPHA STAGE, THIS DISCUSSION WILL BE USED TO SHARE :
- BUGS
- EXPERIENCE
- IDEAS
- SCREENSHOTS OF YOUR MODIFIED TUTORIAL INTERFACEThe main purpose of the first versions in the "alpha stage" is to introduce you to the concept of the WinReducer M.U.X. Design which will be available for all modules you will create using the WinReducerOS "Editor eXtreme Toolbox"(WROS_EXT).
So, to show you all possibilities, you will get with WinReducerOS, I decided to create a tutorial based on the preliminary WROS_EXT (not yet available in the first alpha versions) to explain and show you, in real-time, what you will be able to do.
In this tutorial, you will discover various possibilities for the design and the WROS M.U.X. Design exclusive functionalities.
==> don't worry or frustrated, this is only the beginning, so the options are very limited just yet .... but in the future you will have thousands of options to decide what and how to create your own WROS_Modules.
To finish about the tutorial, I just want to explain how much WinReducerOS is astonishing because the entire interface, and each elements inside, will be available as individual options in the WROS_EXT to create your own WROS_Modules :
- the window design and functionalities
- the containers design and functionalities
- the elements design and functionalities
==> in other words, WinReducerOS is entirely configurable so you will be able to reproduce by yourself the entire tutorial if you want ! [WROS_EXT will be available in February or March]
Not only you will be able to do a tutorial, but there will be no limits to create :
- a tutorial : on a subject you want to explain (with pages, text, images, sounds, ...)
- a presentation : on a subject you want to tell (with pages, text, images, sounds, ...)
- a cooking book : to create a static or interactive book to share all your food recipes (with pages, indexation system, text, images, sounds, ...) to use with a mouse, a keyboard or on a fingerprint screen
- a comic book : to create a static or interactive comic book with your own drawings (with pages, text, images, sounds, ...)
- a vocal book : especially for blinds people (with a command line interface, sounds, ...)
- a retro gaming software : to handle your collections of old games and to launch them
- an image editor
- a music player
- a video player
- a media center
- a MS Office customization
- a MS Windows customization
- a file/folder compressor
- a calculator
- a notepad
- an explorer
- a start menu
- an application launcher
- desktop
- a taskbar
- a system monitoring
- a contact list
- a client email
- an internet browser
- AN ENTIRE OPERATING SYSTEM !
- ...
==> and best of all, you will be able to share all your WROS_Modules in the Forum with all other interested users who want to try your creations ! [WROS_Modules sharing will be available in April or May]
==> in WinReducerOS, all the content will be dynamically created in real-time ... so there will be absolutely no limits to unleash your creativity !
==> During this alpha stage, we will be at the beginning of the most amazing, powerful and complete customization software experience ever created !
Thank you very much to all of you, you waited patiently and let me the time to create something even bigger than I expected when I first start to work on this WinReducer Project renewal !
See you around very soon !
Best Regards,

Here are some screenshots to get an idea of the GUI design possibilities :
WinReducerOS - v2021.1.0.0 [ALL]
RELEASE DONE
==> NEXT BUILD : 01 April 2021 [ALL]
This discussion is opened because the first alpha version has been release !
Another screenshot, I made on the fly, with v2021.1.0.0 [ALL] :
😀
Finally, some progress! Sure is unfinished, but hey, I got all the time in the world so take your time. I appreciate your efforts!
Thanks.
Yes, there are very few options because, this is just an example of what you will be able to do with the WROS_EXT ... in fact, you will be able to create independent WROS_Modules for "Control Center, "Update" or "Registration" with your own User Interface (U.I.) and User eXperience (U.X.) ... and also use them in a more global WROS_Module like your WinReduced Operating System, which will push the customization concept even further.
In this first version, the "Update" and "Modules" functionalities are working, so you will be able to update this first version with the next v2021.2.0.0 [ALL] just by clicking on the button "Update" in the Control Center ... and also check the "Modules" options to discover the User Interface (U.I.) and User eXperience (U.X.) possibilities you will be able to use and which will be available in the WROS_EXT.
During the alpha stage, there will be 3 additional steps :
- "Registration" option = v2021.2.0.0 [ALL]
- the release of the "Editor eXtreme Toolbox" (WROS_EXT) = starting this point, it will move forward with a very fast rhythm
- WROS_Tools options : the functionalities implementation will be done using a regular release basis as there are so much options in the WROS_Tools you will be able to use
==> The purpose of the WinReducerOS Software is to get back the control of your Operating System using an amazing level of customization options ... so :
Get Ready to Unleash Your Creativity !

Will this support windows 7, 8 and 8.1 also?
Also the next update is a few days late. Dont post when next version will be there if you cant keep this and also if you do post if its gona be late
So, you mention music and video players, as well as other things, but could you explain exactly what this set of scripts you create or whatever the case may be, would accomplish??? I mean, you almost make it sound like you are creating your own media player, but I'm not sure what that has to do with making your own OS... I will therefore ask this, are you saying that if, for instance I wanted the vlc media player or k-lite codec pack and media player classic black edition, to be preinstalled or similar, that your program will do it??? What about the problem of the file type associations that can usually only be solved by the "StopResettingMyApps" program??? I hate the file associations resetting themselves to microsoft defaults, and wish there was a setting to disable it... Note that I love windows media player for audio so I hope it's easy to keep that in, and also note that my questions also apply to the other things in that list, not just audio/video stuff...
One other quick note and question... You make it sound like you almost need to be a coder to use this without prebuilt scripts, so I wonder, is it going to functionally be the same as the other one, where you basically,go through a list of things(and in the new program apparently a LONG list) and say yes or no to features, similar to what windows embedded does, or is it really complicated to make the plugins or whatever you call them???
I love what your doing Winter, as soon as payday hits ill be pitchin in :D. Keep up the good work, glad I found you.

Yes, this is compatible with Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 and especially with Windows 10, as long as you respect the minimum requirements, which will be available in the Download page in the future.
@wiebenor (Feb. 14)
These are excellent questions ... first, the WinReducerOS software is a much bigger and wider project compared to the previous WinReducer "ES-Series" and "EX-Series" software. Because your Windows customization experience will not be limited to create your WinReduced ISO (remove or add) ... with WinReducerOS your customization experience potential will be infinite, and it will add an editor to help you create your own software in one goal :perfectly adapt windows to your own needs !
To be much more precise, WROS will have 2 main goals:
- continue the work done with all previous WinReducer "ES-Series" and "EX-Series" software with the help of the WinReducer Community ... and bring even more options with a complete renew of the software UI and U.X.
- add an integrated content editor, named "Editor eXtreme Toolbox" (WROS_EXT) which brings an entire and complete development environment to create your own software (like a software developer) which does not require programming knowledge or skills because it will be based on a "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG) approach ... these software you will be able to create will be named "WinReducerOS Modules" (WROS_Modules) ... and, they will be based on all functionalities provided by several integrated tools (WROS_CXT, WROS_MXT, WROS_NXT, WROS_OXT, WROS_PXT, WROS_SXT and WROS_WXT) regrouped by categories ... maybe you will create your own VLC, MPC or EX-100 !
==> so if just want to create your WinReduced ISO as you usually do with all WinReducer EX-Series, I will provide an improved and embedded version in WinReducerOS ... if you want to continue using your own software (VLC media player or k-lite codec pack and media player classic black edition) no problem, just continue to integrate them in your WinReduced ISO ... if you want to create your own software using the WROS_EXT go for it and discover a totally new world with unlimited customization options ... WinReducerOS is completely flexible to your needs ... don't be afraid to unleash your creativity with WROS_EXT !
@broku (Mar. 15)
Thank you very much ... even if I had an unplanned delay due to my personal situation, and I also reworked entirely the software several times to be perfectly satisfied by the result ... it's about to begin !
Hello guys,
I would like to begin sharing with you new information about WinReducerOS ... you will have more and more information during May 2021 until the 01 June 2021, date for the release of v2021.2.0.0 [ALL] !
Today, I will introduce the official WinReducerOS Software GUI design for all WinReducerOS Modules (WROS_Modules) I will create :
==> Let's begin to explain you how a WROS_Modules is built :
- the "Page" : also known as "window" is composed by all "Borders" and a "Working Area" which embeds all other "Containers" or "Elements"
- the "Containers" : with an unlimited number of possibilities, they regroup and organize all other "Elements"
- the "Elements" : with an unlimited number of possibilities or customizations, they can be a "Text", a "Button", an 'Image", a "Scrollbar"...
The design (color, content, location, size, text, ...) of all WROS_Modules "Pages", "Containers" and "Elements" can be customized ... without restrictions !
==> About the official WinReducerOS Software GUI design, it's based on :
- a blur background with a discrete white color
- yellow borders displayed only on the corners
- a white font (Segoe UI)
- a blue style button
- a red style button
- a yellow scrollbar
- WinReducerOS M.U.X. Design support is available
There are so much things to share ... so I will continue next week with something even better !
I wish you to have a great day !
Thanks, and I look forward to the next updates!
Exciting progress. It is always good to have more competition in the field of image customization. Been using Winreducer a lot and can't wait for this project to progress.
Thanks for the update - also the continued progress. Take care and look forward to more in time ahead.
Hello guys,
Today, I will introduce you to the WinReducerOS M.U.X. Design (WROS_MUX_Design) ... if you follow the website and forum since one year you know that i already described it several times ... but if you do not know what I'm talking about, could you please take few minutes to read the dedicated "Help Center" website page to get all information :
https://www.winreduceros.com/help-muxdesign
The main goal of the WinReducerOS Modular User eXperience Design is to bring ,to all WROS_Modules, the possibility to add an easy, innovative, modern and efficient way to entirely create a User Interface (U.I.) and User eXperience (U.X.). The WROS_MUX_Design will totally renew the Windows Operating System window default behavior with modern, natural and efficient functionalities !
With the WROS_MUX_Design, this is not necessary to constantly move your mouse cursor to the window title bar ... you just need to "click and move" a WROS_Containers and/or a WROS_Elements to execute the defined action !
Several options are available :
- WROS_Pages_Close : move the WROS_Modules window to a screen border to exit it
- WROS_Pages_Maximize : move the WROS_Modules window to a screen border to maximize the window size
- WROS_Pages_Minimize : move the WROS_Modules window to a screen border to reduce the window in the taskbar
- WROS_Pages_Move : move the WROS_Modules window to another location in your screen
- WROS_Pages_Resize : resize the WROS_Modules window to a desired window size
==> These WROS_MUX_Design functionalities will be available in "WinReducerOS - v2021.2.0.0" which is expected to be released on 1st June 2021 ... and much more options will be available in the future.
In all WROS_Modules, I will create, the WROS_MUX_Design will be used to bring a very innovative User Interface (U.I.) and User eXperience (U.X.) never explored for such kind of software !
For example, with the official WinReducerOS Software GUI design pattern (=model) the WROS_MUX_Design is used for almost all WROS_Containers and WROS_Elements, here is a description of the behavior you will get in the "WinReducerOS Control Center" :
==> this is just an example of my own implementation of the WROS_MUX_Design, because with it there will be absolutely no limits to create a new WROS_Modules window behavior !
There are even more options and functionalities to describe, so I will continue next week sharing something even better !
😀
Hello 😀
Today, I will continue to provide more information and to show you screenshots of the official "WinReducerOS Control Panel" modules :
The "WROS_CC" will be embedded in the WinReducerOS Software and will be launched during the WinReducerOS Software startup ... as you could see it will regroup major functionalities (Information, Update, Registration and Settings) ... but also the center "Home" button will display the entire list of "WROS_Modules" you will install in your computer to "LOAD", "DELETE" or "EDIT" your "WROS_Modules" ... among many other things !
Of course, you will be able to :
- create your own design
- use shared patterns
- use shared elements
But you will be also able to edit an already created "WROS_Modules" which have the "Editable" option set to "Yes" ... this will be the choice of the "WROS_Modules" creator !
There are even more options and functionalities to describe, so I will continue next week sharing something even better !
