Kumiko GUI - Amiga Workbench 3.1 GUI for Windows

[milika]

Really dont know the right room for this - so ill just post it here. Please moderators move it if needed...

For all Amiga fans this will be very easy to explain. This is a project which will try to bring all old and well beloved applications, as well as create new ones, but with the look and feel of genuine Wokbench 3.1 environment. This is not a windows skin/them or similar. These programs look like this, and behave like this, and only like this. No windows blinds can change that. Just to make it even clearer, this is a windows exe, so it will work on practically any windows. This is NO emulation, and NO skin. Try it and see.

Go to http://www.milika.net and click on the Kumiko GUI icon
Please Try it and report back, i am eager to hear form real Amiga fans!

For all you other, less fortunate users, who do not know what Amiga or Workbench is, this is just a freeware apps project.

This is a screen shoot of first and simplest api - Calculator.

Yes, true, but this was made for true amiga look.
Remember, this is full GUI not a skin or something.
I am currently working on a small app like font chooser in prefs. Which will allow users to chose font and size prefs.

This way you can choose how does everything looks, but in true amiga style!

I was thinking of doing FileMaster or DOpus 4 next, but i am waiting what fans have to say...

Nice, if you used original fonts would be even nicer

Exlorer shell replacement. You mean explorer.exe replacement. Easily done. But i would want to use proof Kumiko on several apps before taking that step. And still right click menu is giving me trouble...
Very nice idea though... In some time definitely worth a try

@plaz i could not repeat that error. Right click open content menu, so there is perhaps some error in your system pertaining content menu...

@ptek I coded it in Pascal I wanted to use a bit strange language, but it still is multi platform, don't worry. And yes i coded it myself. AI actually don't like skins. I would be easy to do skin system, but then we are returning to windows blinds and a like. Not the idea at all...

@pvc I have been an Amiga user for a looong time, and when all comes down to it. wb 3.1 look is the one i like the most! But if people disagree i will honor that and switch Kumiko to look which is most popular. Please do advise, asap. Because i planed on doing more coding soon....

@every1 plz use Amiga forever fonts - it will look a bit bigger and much more original!

[milika]

My thoughts exactly... At most i would have used 8 colors. But rarely
Anyhow this needs to be decided promptly. So if any1 thinks differently, please let me know!

10x!

That is already supported, you just see default color set. I was not thinking about this, but the look. like morph or workbench like or something like that...
