Create simple Easy Function Keys software suite

I have invented a new user interface for computers, which you can view at www.easyfunctionkeys.com. I am looking for a software developer who can develop Windows applications which use my new invention, specifically the Desktop Launcher, Program Picker, File Manager, and Quick Snap, all of which are explained in detail on my website.

The Desktop Launcher should be quite easy to implement, but it does require animation of the Quick Command Bars (see [url removed, login to view]), which I think may require custom code (i.e. not using the standard Windows menu bars, because Quick Command Bars are a new invention of mine).

Quick Snap should be very easy to implement, because I know that you can make AutoHotKeys store the positions and sizes of open windows, and then re-set them to those sizes and positions with one autohotkey combination, and Quick Snap just requires a dialogue box and some static images to represent the possible new positions of the windows. (I can help supply these if graphics are not your forte, I can also supply any number of menu bars, by using Vista Buttons to create them, so graphics doesn't have to be your strong point.)

There may be a few difficulties with implementing some of my interface: the Program Picker uses the Esc key to open it, and needs to be able to override the use of the Esc key in all programs (which I know is possible, because I've done a simple test program using AutoHotKeys, and it works - the Esc key will always open up a test window, from within any program). The difficulty is that you may have a dialogue box open in a program, and wish to use the Esc key to close it. Is it possible to write a program (i.e. the Program Picker) which knows if a dialogue window is open in the currently open program, and thus temporarily lets the Esc key close the dialogue box in the currently open program, rather than opening the Program Picker? This isn't a game changer, the user will have to choose to either use Esc to access Program Picker, and use the mouse to press the Cancel button in dialogue boxes, or turn off Program Picker temporarily. Apart from this possible problem, the Program Picker should also be quite easy to implement, as all it does is display a dialogue box with a grid of 12, 24 or possibly 36 boxes in it, showing the currently open programs (see [url removed, login to view]), and then allows the user to switch to one of the applications.

The File Manager will be the most difficult program to create, but it only really has to do what Windows Explorer does, just using the keyboard function keys as well.

As one of the advantages of my new interface is the ability of blind people to use it, I need to implement a text to speech engine for all the programs in this suite. View more about 'Blind Mode' here: [url removed, login to view]

I would also like to have EFK pull down menus implemented in Microsoft Office 2010 and 2013, using Office Add-Ons. This would be part of the EFK Suite too. I don't know if this is possible to do, I know you can add a conventional menu bar and pull down menus, as I have software that does this, from Ubitmenu - [url removed, login to view] But I don't know if you can make the function keys work with it, to implement an Easy Function Keys type interface.

I will be raising funds to pay you by launching an Indiegogo campaign. Obviously you will not be expected to begin work until the campaign has finished and has been successful.

The software needs to be protected (presumably by a serial number). The copy protection doesn't need to be impregnable, just enough to put off the casual 'pirate'. I want the software to have a 90 day trial period.

Timescale: as soon as I know how much money I need to pay you, I will be starting my campaign on Indiegogo, which will last for 30 days.
