Despite the fact that Gnome-shell isn't truly "complete" yet, me and a friend have actually begun to create a version of it for the Apple II. Now, you might be thinking, why would you want to change the desktop of an Apple computer? Didn't they invent a lot of the GUI norms? The reason, is because we can. Note, it's still incomplete, but I've actually managed to get some of the window behaviours down correctly, though in a 2D monochrome way of course. Still, the recreation of such an advanced,highly complexicated and EASY window management system within the confines of such hardware is an achievement on its own!
Of course, to prove I'm not pulling your legs, here are some screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/yH4Z1 The first picture is the shell running on an emulator. You can see that it is able to run Apple II native apps, alongside the ability to search through them and other files in your storage medias (we're still working on it, it takes about 46 seconds from the striking of return for it to give results). The second screenshot, unfortunately taken with my friend's crappy cellphone, shows it running a calculator app on an actual Apple IIc computer. Once we figure out how to get it into a format that can actually be edited on a normal modern computer, we will see if we can put the source code up on the Gnome GIT repository. The code ''is'' rather fascinating to look at too. You'll love how we did it >:) ~Shawn _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
