Does anybody know of any book, article, site, ... about different graphical enviroments(shells) which exist? I am interested both in history, that is from which gui was some gui derived from, and what is in common to different gui, what are the pecularities of some gui.
I am also interested in the developent of the gui.(I don't whant to invent i bysical, but i can't port existing gui for ceratin reasons )
Thanx.

Hello,
a few sites for history, screen shots, etc:
http://www.jmusheneaux.com/INDEX12.htm,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of ... _interface and
http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/XoverSSH/GUI-History.html.
Now for the programming, I think it's mostly basic graphical programming like programming for a VGA or a VESA.
I don't know if that can help you, but

Thanks,
I decided to "port" X11Lib and some other libraries
Does anybody know of some tutorials, books, ... on the structure of X11?
Thanks again,
Anton.
PS. So, i guess nobody knows where i can read about the internals of XWindows.
