Please, just tell me someone will make an OS customizable enough to be like Linux. Those fancy ricings with tiling and WMs/DEs and urxvt.... By now, I'm working on a Windows manager, fully customizable, coloring, redraws... BUT, its a Window Manager, it won't use GUIs, or buttons or bars... The concept idea is just to make 3 objects, Windows, Menus and Bars. Window objects are already in development and consist of Panel, Border and Decorator. The wm is going to be called furwm. The power of it will be something like this
Those are the possibilities of no border and no offset in decorator. However, the idea is not to have it being my default desktop, but let it have frames for the GUI. Silica and Vertex are extremely well, and will be the bestest by far. But you know, a different way of implementing it would be cool. I think GUIs, Window Managers and Desktop Environments are being a bit privatised, they look pretty much like Mac and Windows, but I recommend you a visit thru /r/unixporn. There, users like me rice it's computer like they want, and there are no limitations, I can get Ubuntu, change the applications, WM and DE, and all the programs to convert it to Linux Mint and thats what I mean by truly free customization. Tiling would be great, and stacking... We could do. for example, not draw the things and let users have its API so it looks like it, but loading images, users could just load a pallete, edit how they want the menu to look, or the decorators, anything. With the new resolution we have a new world and I don't like to limit users to what I'm offering them, Silica and Vertex are neat, I like them and probably use them, probably if i like them so much I'll make a bootloader that can boot into different OSes but things should be more open. I've also read about payment on licensed apps using... this currency I never heard about, and there exists this concept: FLOSS: Free/Libre Open Source Software. If you license your app, It's a lose-lose. Because even if I'm not really good at Lua, I can make my own free and open source alternative. But free in the two meanings. Free as in no money and free as in freedom. We have the ability to make flat interfaces, or gradient, antialiasing, shadows... and we have the ability to switch between them, too. I will start working on a GUI library as well, and I'll make my own interfaces and all. "But then all you said it was a lie you are doing the same" No. I'm making a library that you can use or not. In my dreamworld you can round and flatten decorator squares with a click and a refresh. Thank you dan for all this advancement.
I've just realized I've talked too much about FLOSS and KISS.

) were actually early versions of my OS concept. I eventually decided against the mobile-like theme though (as well as the idea that applications could only use 1 colour; that would suck!) and started thinking up alternative designs. This is the one I liked the best.
