Maybe it's just me, but I don't think that the cursor fits with your OS. It's probably just personal taste. Otherwise, I love the UI! It's so beautiful and consistent. I just love it. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! I guess I'll see if some different cursor fits better, I'm not the very best designer though Thanks for your appreciation!

Simple solution: make the GUI themable.
When you start writing an OS you do the minimum possible to get the x86 processor in a usable state, then you try to get as far away from it as possible.
Well, probably not what he meant, but... for a certain portable library.
I know, I know I actually started it and realized that it's quite a bunch of work. As you'll see when looking at the windowserver sources, I use the libuser a lot which contains stuff like font loading, a wrapper for cairo, wrappers for easy keyboard and mouse access. I've yet to decide what to do with that stuff and am not quite sure if I'll put the "compatibility layer" (which you would have to provide system-specific implementations for) into the windowserver - or into libuser and make it more general..
Thanks for your appreciation!
