proof-of-concept spotlight-style search done in wpf. AND THEY SAY ITS A DEAD FRAMEWORK

This makes me want to use windows7

the best part is that this is windows 10

google desktop reference?

unironically yes

THE EVERYTHING VISTA COULD HAVE BEEN I HATE MICROSOFT

please release this I'm begging you

what in the smoothest butter is that animation on Windows???!

yup. it’s actually really easy to get nice animations in wpf since it supports pixel shaders as it’s all directx

does it take a screenshot as it zooms the desktop out, or does it somehow do it live?

how'd you do the screen zooming out (i am a stupid when it comes to computers)? my first thought would be to take a screenshot, save it in a temp folder, zoom that out, and then delete it once they exit the menu but i'm gonna guess you didn't do that

you're very close actually!! there's no real need to save it to the disk, i'm using the win32 api to BitBlt the primary monitor into a HBITMAP then using an interop function to convert that into a BitmapSource which wpf can display
