But what would be the point of Zune on MorphOS, which already has the latest and greatest MUI ?

I am obviously missing the point here, but what I meant and what has been clarified is that Zune in of no use on MorphOS.
 
Much more sense would be to implement MUI4( if thats possible) on AROS and AOS4 or to make ZUNE a compelte clone of MUI4 and replace MUI on AOS4 and AROS with Zune.
 
I can not see either of these things happening  to be honest.

I agree, if Zune gets to the standard that you can write an app in MUI4 and it just work in Zune without any other work then it will be brilliant.
 
At that point get it ported to AOS4 whatever, I was just pointing out that to the OP that it is usless for MorphOS

I agree why does someone have to be a MUI Dev to post opinion or underestand what the issues are.
 
If you understand Software degv, APIs or just common sense you would understand.
 
The most obvious thing is that everyhting in Zune is called the same, the classes, the methods, the properties etc etc.
 
Then you won't even need to re-compile.  Like you dont have to re-compile system friendly 68k software on MorphOS.
 
Zune should just be an API re-imp of MUI, simples, anything else is a waste of time.

By non-coder do you mean non-mui coder or just non-coder?

So what you are describing is re-inventing the wheel again , and branching out past MUI4.
 
Shouldn't MUI set the pace its been the dipso facto standatrd on amigalike OSs for quite some time now.
 
Is this a jelaousy thing, because MorphOS has MUI4 and everybody else stuck in the past?
 
Is there some agreement between MorphOS and MUI dev that MUI4 can not be used on AOS4 or AROS?
