Does this use Reaction or MUI ?


AFAIK, it uses its own alien GUI, not Reaction, not MUI, not anything else native on Amiga...
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

There, I fixed it for you ;)


So *IT IS* using an Amiga Native UI, and not its own?

Not quite sure how you interpreted my post that way.


Jose asked if it used MUI or Reaction, and I answered neither, it's using its own, alien GUI that's not native to Amiga. You felt the need to correct this for some reason (by basicly just repeating what I just said, which is strange), but looking at the screenshot, it seems like the only Amiga UI part is the outer window border, then inside this is like a huge square, filled from left to right, up to down, where the content and GUI of an alien kind is rendered, not looking one bit like Amiga. Even the scroll bar to the right is inside this rendered field, and not part of the Amiga window. It has some "File, Edit, View, etc" menus at the top, just like you would expect on a Windows or Linux system, but not Amiga. The tabs doesn't look Amiga, nothing looks Amiga. Nothing that is rendered inside the outer Amiga window, has anything to do with Amiga UI styles, looks and feel. It's like looking at a remote Windows screen in that Amiga window. That's all I tried to say. So to answer Jose's question once again - No, it's neither using Reaction (the OS4 native UI), nor is it using MUI (the MorphOS native UI), it's using its own custom, non-Amiga UI. Hope that clarifies it a bit! :)

Of course it's resizable


That's a good then! :) I tried Netsurf on Amikit a few weeks ago, which *also* has its own custom, non-Amiga UI rendered inside an Amiga window, and in that case the "rendered content" *didn't* resize when the Amiga window it resided in was resized. It was a horrible user experience...

I'm way late replying to this


No kidding, bumping a 3 months old thread... :lol:

(Bored, digging through the archives? ;))

I just want to point out that NetSurf-m68k is not representative of NetSurf as a whole.  It's built around the framebuffer frontend which is intended for devices that don't have their own GUI system.

NetSurf for OS4 of course has a proper GUI with Amiga standard gadgets, and when resized the content reflows as it should.


Eh, OK... :)
