Future AmigaOS GUI

[PhatBoiCollier]

Just an idea....

Given that AmigaOS in the future will *supposedly* run AmigaOE (AmgiaDE/SDK/whatever else its called!)  and also that AmigaOE will run on *many platforms*.  And also given the great flexibility of the OE (i.e. alpha channeling, V flexible menus, MUI style layout support etc.), and also given that there is no real "desktop" environment for it yet, how about trying to implement your OS GUI design in AmigaOE?

Just an idea....

Just wondering, is this "tabs" approach preferable over the MUI-style list-down-the-left?

Comments everyone?

Hmm, fair comment.  I am just wondering about the practicality of a "pages" system (widget) that switches between tabs and a list, once the number of pages exceeds 8.

If the UI uses proper layout controls, it should be able to handle it.  Or do you think thats taking too much away from the developer (i.e. forcing the issue too much).  I guess one of the params could be type (i.e. Tab, List or Auto).

Just throwing ideas around......
