[Pgui-devel] Desktop-style window management

[Peter Graf]

Hi folks,

I'm evaluating which GUI to port to a non-unixstyle multitasking OS with limited posix lib support. Although the CPU performance is more like "embedded", the use is a highresolution desktop rather than a small display.
Framebuffer implementation seems feasible, but the PDA-style windowmanagement of picoGUI is not suitable. Apart from windowmanagement, the picoGUI architecture seems to fit quite good.

In the FAQ I read:

[...] in theory PicoGUIshould work great on the desktop once more apps and drivers are written. Even though PicoGUIis usually used without overlapping windows, it does support them, and the PicoGUIserver is very scalable.
There is already work in progress on a Linux-based OSthat uses PicoGUIrootless on X as its native GUI, so PicoGUIapps can run side-by-side with X apps in overlapping windows. [...]

Does this mean overlapping PicoGUI windows are only supported via X, not on bare framebuffer without X?

Is there work in progress for PicoGUI desktop-style windowmanagement, esp. overlapping windows for multitasking applications?

Sorry if this forum is not the right place for my sort of question. Maybe you can give me a quick hint, thanks a lot.

Regards,
Peter
