What does your OS look like? (Screen Shots..)

[Lionel]

Lionel, looks awesome!

Do you want to create a graphical interface using the PL110 or stick with a command-line interface?

Command Line. Except its not really command line right now, its just the log. Graphics aren't really my area. I hope to port bash to it someday. Or maybe zsh

Well, not quite what I'd expect from a polygon fill algorithm to do

Some people might consider that being modern art.

Some people might consider that being modern art.

Reminds me of when I visited the Art Institute of Chicago. In their Contemporary section:

"Rodeo":


"Brilliant Yellow":


"Homage to the Square: New Light":


"Mass Tone: Manganese Blue":


I remember coming across one labelled something similar to "Canvas" and it was just a blank canvas.

How is this to be taken seriously?

[no92]

For some reason, it is. I don't get why, too.

Unfortunately, I didn't see these paintings when I visited it about 4 weeks ago. I only visited the modern North American and the Impressionist part of the Art Institute (the abstract paintings are probably not too interesting. The alternatives are just way too good. I mean, name another place where can you find more than 10 of Claude Monet's paintings in one or two rooms!)

We're OSdevers, and we deserve better than seeing such awful contemporary art screenshots of some weird hobby OS. (just kidding max, your work is great)

Reminds me of when I visited the Art Institute of Chicago. [snip!]

Two of my all-time favorites:

• A black canvas entitled "Black Cat Eating Licorice in a Coal-bin at Midnight"; and
• A white canvas entitled "Polar Bear Eating Vanilla Ice Cream in a Blizzard."

If I see another random splattering entitled "Untitled No. 37" I'll puke!

I just had a horrible thought -- how do you know that the one-color background a user selects for their desktop doesn't infringe on the copyright of some "famous" work of art? More legal problems for OSDevers to worry about.

[hometue]

Doesn't that mean someone could just create all possible images (changing it pixel by pixel to get every combination) and then releasing it as his work and any images would be a copyright infringement? (I think we discussed about it in some other thread but I am just stating a possibility here, I know its not possible to do so as of now)

I'll just also drop this here ^-^

Aww, your GUI is so cute-looking.

[AndrewAPrice]

Here's my tabbing window manager (nothing is populating the windows at the moment). You can arbitrarily split and resize the frames by dragging them around. Also showing some free floating dialogs. This screenshot is showing the VESA driver running at 800x600x24. It also has a backup VGA driver that runs at 320x200x256! It will be a challenge to make a widget system that fits nicely on such a low resolution.

Niiiiice work MessiahAndrw! looking forward to trying it out, looks great.

Thanks Max! Now to work on an OS toolchain and make some user programs you can launch and fill those windows with!

My 2 cents: Even tough it doesn't look exactly fancy right now, it look pretty promising. Especially the tiling part is awesome (support for tiling was added to toaruos only about 2 months ago). GUI toolkit development is an exciting task, which sadly takes a lot of time.

May, so a bit further back than 2 months, but it's not even proper tiling, just gridding, so MessiahAndrw's still got me beat there
