Win7-Apps
ee56188

This isn't a normal release, rather it's just to get the attention of Win7+ users and give awareness to the forks of stuff that I make that are Win7 compatible. Call it self promotion, but it's really just because I know how frustrated I was when these apps suddenly stopped working on Win7, and so I want people to know there is hope and there are alternatives lol.

  1. Codium. It is a fork of VSCodium (and hence also a fork of VSCode), except with Win7 support, compiler optimizations (of course), and a non-ugly Logo (matter of opinion). https://github.com/Alex313031/codium

  2. Caprine-ng. It is a fork of Caprine, a Facebook messenger app for Windows/Linux. It has Win7 support, as well as some added fixes and more settings in the menu, like developer options and a place where you can set Proxy settings. https://github.com/Alex313031/caprine-ng

  3. ArmCord-Win7. It is a fork of the alternative Discord client called ArmCord. This is essentially the only way to have an up to date discord client on Win7 anymore. https://github.com/Alex313031/ArmCord-Win7

  4. Quark Player for Legacy OSes. This is a fork of my own Quark Player app, just with Win7 support. It is an Electron based media player for all sorts of streaming services. https://github.com/Alex313031/quark-player-win7

  5. Apple Music Win7. Kinda the same as the above. A Win7 compatible fork of my own app called Apple Music Desktop, an Apple Music client for those of us not on MacOS. https://github.com/Alex313031/apple-music-desktop-win7

  6. vscode-win7. My "staging area" where I test patching the latest Tip of Tree VSCode for Win7. I use the results I get to formulate patches for Codium. This is source code only, and requires Windows 8.1+ and Node16 + MSVS 2019 to build. https://github.com/Alex313031/vscode-win7

  7. Relay IRC. This is my fork of an Electron based IRC client. It does support private chats, but it is not TLS encrypted, for those of you who are privacy conscious. It's great for public IRC chatting though. https://github.com/Alex313031/relay-irc

  8. Etcher-ng. It is a fork of the popular OS image writing app balenaEtcher. This is based on their 1.7.9 version from 2022, but I have updated ALOT of stuff, to where the featureset is essentially at the level of their 1.12.x versions. I also did alot of good stuff like: Remove advertisements, completely remove telemetry and auto-updating, and restored the toggle options in Settings to Auto-Verify, Auto-Unpack, and Auto-Trim. These options used to be present, but then they hard coded them to true in the source. IDK why the hell they would remove these options. Anyway, it is here > https://github.com/Alex313031/etcher-ng-win7

  9. I made a repo similar to my Windows-XP-Stuffz, except for, surprise surprise, Win7/8 > https://github.com/Alex313031/Windows-7-Stuffz
