Wow! All those people with their awesome looking GUI

And all I have is a VESA text console

The BSOD isn't even blue

I do hope someone gets the Doctor Who reference

: LiquiDOS's kernel exception screen.

Are you using GRUB to set your video mode?

Will the user be able to choose his desired mode?

Maybe depends if i'm have a driver for the graphics card or implemented a way to do the bios call to change mode.

So changing your video memory pointer from a uint16 to a uint8 helps a lot

Actually putting some real effort into my UI/widget toolkit. Made a calculator as demonstration / test environment. Still a lot of work to do.

Nice!
Buttons look really good through.
How do you get such precise numbers? 9 god'amn digits!
I'm sure that's not FPU!

That pi approximation was manually typed, but the calculator itself uses Python's parser and operators, so when floating point kicks in it gets ~17 digits.

Here's an actual pi calculation and result:

What's that blue line in the top window decoration?

It's supposed to be a stylish focus indicator (it's more apparent when you have non-focused windows to compare to), but people don't seem to like it. I'm working on a new decoration theme to go with my upcoming release; this one is quite old and based on a GTK theme I used to use many years ago.

I actually quite like your current theme. Also, I would suggest you using something flat and minimalistic for you new theme. To make it look modern. Why aren't there any minimize/maximize buttons doe?

It makes some sense in comparison, but for example try moving active window to the blue sky background over the pagoda
