1 year ago I believe this project is on indefinite hiatus due to both the developer's free time and the UI change of Windows 11 (which is why I haven't contributed in forever), reimplementing the entire Desktop UI and File Explorer would be an enormous undertaking.
As it stands now, MobileShell is simply a wrapper implementing a status bar and very simple action bar over the fullscreen Windows 10 start menu and if I remember correctly pretends that the user hit hotkeys on their keyboard for those actions on the bar. It doesn't actually reimplement any part of explorer.exe (start menu or otherwise). As great as this idea is, unfortunately it may be impossible without completely rewriting the application, and the only .NET-Managed shell library I know of is ManagedShell written by Cairo Desktop.
I am not attempting to speak for ADeltaX, but simply giving my observations based on the development of Windows itself. You could try the "appLauncher" project which implements a launcher similar to Windows 8/10's start screen, but that doesn't appear to implement an action bar.
Well, if developer (you my and our dear creator) makes another version of this project called for example "FullShell" that will be the main job to replace the whole Desktop UI, explorer.exe and etc... that exist in every Windows OS (including this one) to get Windows Phone UI permanently and to only way to be able to bring back default UI is to uninstall the FullShell can help people like me and others who running the full Windows 11 ARM on mobile phones to bring back old good Windows Phone UI (taskbar, desktop Metro UI home, status bar and etc...)
That would be so nice and powerful thing that we will be able to call the person who create it as our savior for Windows Phones after the long years of their EOL it's a raisen thanks to this project that exist.
Thank you so much in advance for participating in this!
