Mmm, thanks for the suggestion! Several of my friends have said the same things too, maybe I should take away the squares..Roman wrote:I agree, GUI looks nice, except for some elements: maximize, close, minimize buttons. I think, they would look better, if they were just circles without squares.

Yaaay! Finally implemented the whole VectFS filesystem specifications in the Vector kernel! It can now boot from VectFS partitions!
Here's Vector starting up from a virtual hard disks in Bochs !

Though I never understood how the same symbol in three different colours is supposed to be intuitive...

I agree on OS X looking good. But copying a good style is really bad. If I were you, I'd take a sheet of paper and draw some ideas onto it until you get a result that looks good, and most importantly, you'll like and work on.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I'll come up with an idea and keep in mind our GUI is still in early stages!

If it looks too much like OS X Apple will happily sic their lawyers upon you. Apple has a history of doing this, you know ...omarrx024 wrote:So? I don't think OS X looks badmuazzam wrote:But it will look like like OS X.

It looks nothing like OS X and taking the squares away won't materially alter that.

Except, you probably don't want to make the sensitive regions to become smaller, neither physically, nor visually.Roman wrote:I agree, GUI looks nice, except for some elements: maximize, close, minimize buttons. I think, they would look better, if they were just circles without squares.

Yaaaay! Finally got my shell "ZeroSH" to support parameters. Here, params.zrx is just a test program to detect parameters and it is working fine! Time to get working, as parameters can help with a lot of things!

Aside my OS project for x86 I started a project for PowerPC Macs. It will be called Einherjar.
I just managed to boot and print a "Hello World!" within the OpenFirmware, for the moment I only tested on qemu.
I will add some info on the wiki about PPC-related osdev if people want, later.

Wow! It's nice to see non x86 and x64 for a while! Never seen a hobby OS for PowerPC before.narke wrote:Aside my OS project for x86 I started a project for PowerPC Macs.
What assembler would you use for PowerPC?
