Windows Vista: Alternative look?

Question

Layout

It already happened that I got a laptop with Vista Business 64-Bit.
I do not want to put a pirate 7-ku.
I myself am a terrible Kubuntu-oid and love my KDE. But Linux does not work very well on this laptop, unfortunately =(
So, we stay on Vista.
But here are the questions:
1. Can I replace the taxbar? 2. Move the window control buttons to the left side ( leftsider
doesn't want to do this for some reason)
3. Adequate ssh-client with multitabs.
Quick launcher? (like Alt + F2 and you type in the name of the program)
5. Krusader analogue? Well, in order to upload files via FTP / SFTP in a two-panel mode, and even a multi-tab one.

Answer 1

Start learning template engines for CMS.
The simplest Modx + Minishop2. Or Opencart, Wordtress, etc.

Answer 2

The first thing you need to pay attention to is what online stores are generally popular in the CIS and US markets. In the CIS market - catalog.onliner.by, deal.by (online malls), 5element.by , evroopt.by - online stores for large retailers, in the US market - amazon.com. Many in Belarus, Russia buy simple online stores on WordPress - i-product.by .
The problem with many web studios is that they build online stores using ready-made templates. For example, web studios likeit.by, abiatec.by, medialine.by. The problem arises when you need to fill the online store with content and edit it. These are hundreds of products in the product matrix that need to be tracked. Therefore, you need to clearly understand that online stores and online malls today are only Bitrix. And to check the compliance of the price of online stores with the real one in online malls, for example, Onliner.by, they recruit a staff of specialists. The same state works with reviews, which are also moderated.
You also need to understand that in a web studio (for example, Borovoy, Skrotsky), several layouts are created in Photoshop CS and the final one is accepted by the project manager.
You need to understand what kind of web studio you would like to work in, because in the CIS market Artemy Lebedev's studio is a disgrace, and Skrotsky's web studio rejects up to 80 percent of orders due to a misunderstanding of how an online store will work with a business . The customer himself does not understand why he needs an online store. And many, like Artemy Lebedev's web studio, work for money creating chimeras. Some like aic.ru only work with banks.

Answer 3

Again, it depends on the quantity of goods and quality.
If the product needs to be sold, then landing pages are usually used (and there is no need to convince them that they are of super quality, etc.). There are a bunch of HTML5 blanks for landing + add the nakartu.club script
If something is serious, then you really need to look towards e-commerce engines.
But under them, with the acceptance of payment from individuals (AND WITH A MINIMUM percentage) it will not be very comfortable.
So pay attention. The script is free and installed in 5 minutes.
PS: In fact, you can even in the social. networks and instant messengers to make sales. There are examples there.

Answer 4

1-2.
Alternative appearance, under windows, as a rule, are engaged in www.stardock.com/products
But their products are paid. To change the look of windows for free and without piracy, I have never heard of it.
IMHO - it will still be easier to solve problems with kubuntu than trying to do something with an OS that no one likes (including its developers)
5.
The most popular two-pane file manager (with support for a bunch of plugins, respectively, and ftp\sftp \yyr will be there) - total commander. Can be used forever in trial mode.
4.
Try typing the name of the program in the START menu:
Click START(windows button) and, ignoring the pop-up menu, immediately write the name of the program. As a rule, the first option found should be what you need.
Alternatively, what I use all the time is: collect all the utilities in one folder and add this folder to path.
Windows+R, executable name, enter.
