I am not into C programming, but this OS loader has a good GUI and comes with full C code.
As its like a min OS and users vesa, it may help someone making a GUI OS.

no use how do i make buttons in asm or c++ i am thinking of it looking like this:

button 1 | button 2 | button 3 | button 4 | shutdown button

screen with icons

So you want to develop like James T. Klik. You will want to check out the mega tokyo osfaq wiki and the quicklinkz.

What are the basics you claim to know? How's your knowledge in asm, c, c++ and close-to-hardware development?

I don't want to discourage you, but I, in order to reach the level where I am now, have needed nearby three years. It required me to develop a kernel with process/thread management, memory management, file system management and quite some IPC features ere I could think about implementing a full fledged GUI service. And still, there is lot of work yet to be done.

SO, I recommend you to start with: "I want to receive Keyboard interrupts and display on screen what Key has been pressed". That's what I have started with in the very beginning - The most simple and most straight forward task - and it took me two months (well, i have a Life and don't sit behind the screen all the time )

Or do you want to simply develop an application - in java or so? I might have completely misunderstood your intentions.

Stay safe )

thx i understand the boot loader and i have made a very basic kernel that says hello i also knew that learning to make a os wouldent take overnight

[thomas]

i was goin too fast im going to start with a comand prompt like os

I think that the first step to code a GUI is to have an un and running kernel that handle all "basic" features needed by your OS.
