Was porting cairo hard? I mean, does it have many dependencies? What exactly does it depend on?max wrote:Thanks Ch4ozz.That's just an example from the cairo page; it's what I used for testing my client-drawn canvas implementation.zenzizenzicube wrote:What's going on in your test window?

You'll need libpng and libz, and freetype as font backend. For this you need quite a bunch of standard C functions, but if you have those it's not hard to port.omarrx024 wrote:Was porting cairo hard? I mean, does it have many dependencies? What exactly does it depend on?
Holy cookies! That looks awesome! I believe it's awesome below the shell, isn't it?omarrx024 wrote:I love tweaking my window manager... and I love posting in this thread even more, lol.
I don't want to spam on this thread about your OS anymore, but just know that I'm usually checking updates for your OS every time I don't know what to do.max wrote:After fixing some bugs i finally had time to improve my UI design
lol, it's the only language I'm comfortable with, TBH. Below the shell, my OS is not perfect, it's missing lots and lots of features. I don't have multiprocessing, or even a file system or a driver interface. But the design of everything is planned, and is just waiting to be implemented.Lukand wrote:Holy cookies!

I just keep asking myself how are some cold-blood guys create perfect OSes in assembly and being comfortable in coding it in that language...
Do you have a site/repository/demo build? I'm interested in this. Looks really nice.f2 wrote:I'm reimplementing some old apps and features from my previous OS project into the new one...
I don"t have website or repository and I don't plan to make one. I don't have much free time and the OS is stil progressing slowly.omarrx024 wrote:Do you have a site/repository/demo build?

You can just give us an ISO. We can try it out and report you all the bugs bugs we find. Testing finished product just feels empty, real charm is hidden inside unfinished products.f2 wrote:I don"t have website or repository and I don't plan to make one.

Making a demo build is possible but I have a few things to add/fix first.
The changes I have to provide are under the hood, and it's better for me to consolidate the OS loader and the kernel to prevent triple faults and strange operations. When it's done, I can share a hard disk image of the OS with its GUI bugsoctacone wrote: You can just give us an ISO. We can try it out and report you all the bugs bugs we find.

(no ISO atm, the OS can't access ATAPI devices using AHCI).Okay, cool.f2 wrote: The changes I have to provide are under the hood, and it's better for me to consolidate the OS loader and the kernel to prevent triple faults and strange operations.

I like your color scheme. What's the screen resolution in QEMU?octacone wrote:Basic OS 1.0 Update

Spent like 2 hours trying to figure it out. Current theme just seems to be it.That's how it should be. My OS is entirely resolution-independent as well. I also plan to let the user choose resolution he wants, as long it is supported by the BIOS/monitor combination. EDID is too much work for something that means so little, and I plan to use the same approach used by Windows (Click OK within 15 seconds to confirm current screen resolution.)octacone wrote:After all I decided to give user an option to choose any resolution he wants.

That seems fair. I don't have a V8086 monitor at the moment. I am currently using BGA for everything, but that does not matter since frame buffers are fully compatible.omarrx024 wrote:That's how it should be. My OS is entirely resolution-independent as well.
