Im working on a GUI system. Its based on windows that you can move around and close. Just like Windows XP etc.

Im interested in hearing your reports/comments on system performance and so on. (there are still bugs in the current release).

Looks nice. Is it for a particular purpose, or type of game?

Its for general use. I had written several programs and small games, and everytime i found myself wasting time on writing gui stuff. So i thought, why not once and for all write a GUI system that can be used for general purpose. And its media-free so it can be easily transfered to different uses.

If you drag a window over the button it still presses the button, other than that - great.

It is using the get image command, but its updating with a timed interval. so text in windows only gets updated 10 times per second.

P3 Processer, 30GB HD, 128MB ram, don't even remember what kind of mobo, its a good computer....just not for media. It is horrible with games and streaming video.

What kind of system you got? It would be aweseome to be able to get up near 1000fps.

[EDIT]nvm...found the answer

Apolloed:

My computer:
CPU: AMD Athlon XP2000+ (Thoroughbred) , 1.68 GHz
on an Asus 7V266-C motherboard
Graphicscard: nVidia GeForce4 MX 440, 64 MB RAM
RAM: 768 MB

So my computer isnt anything special. But i really find it weird how you can get such a low fps. But then again your 128 MB of ram sounds quite alarming to me, especially if you use Windows XP

So i suspect that your problem is your graphicscard. And my guess is that its built in on your motherboard which is VERY bad.

Looks interesting. Seems that several of us are working on GUI apps at the moment. Just one question - have you checked out BlueGUI - which can do multiple windows using the real windows API? Just didn't want to see you reinventing the wheel without knowing it.

Ric: I know BlueGUI. But BlueGUI isn't free, and i want to create a free alternative. Besides its a good satisfaction to create it myself. And another and perhaps more important reason for me creating it is that i dont want it to be like BlueGUI

Darkdomy: i'm not releasing any sourcecode until its completed

Apolloed: well, the windows are both images and sprites ... the non-active window are just images, but when a window is activated it becomes a sprite and a routine updates the spriteimage 10 times per second to allow it to be texted via another function
