Here are some screenshots of BlueIllusion in action.

BlueIllusion 0.08

Yuck! Thats one cool thing! Movie playing on BlueIllusionOS. I call that a fine achievement. Just look at that cool screenshot!

Ah, the scrollbar in use,finally. That's been a nice piece of work I daresay. It's gonna get some overhaul yet so you can set the position according to the current visible area of the widget to scroll. Oh, but the joy of seeing it work and scroll a textarea up and down, it's really soothing and banging some buck ...

Again an update which sports some amendments and some smashed bugs - well, the more time goes by, the more bugs I'm able to hunt down, eh? I'm gonna put an updated cdrom image online soon so you can try it out.

Look at the image of the login screen to see the new clock-widget in action. You can use it as button by asigning it an event handler - like any other control in the blueillusionOS-GUI. To increase stability of the kernel, I have split the timer and the rtc-clock stuff. Now, Time from the rtc chip is retrieved by a message to a separate rtc-clock-task. This has relieved me of some very nasty crashes.

One little update along with updated cdrom image, so you can look a little bit at the whereabouts of my OS project. It's going along at a slow but steady pace, so I'm content with what I've achieved so far. In the screenshot below you can see the first preview of an application which deals with graph algorithms and the visualisation of graphs. As Input, it takes an xml file. Easy, isn't it? NO need to worry about parsing special file format stuff with the xml thing at hands. *gg* Have fun trying it out.

Something small, but with a lot of work under the hood. The GUI is completely reworked by now. Of course there's the one or other quirk. Especially with shared memory deallocation and allocation. this gonna be cleaned out in the next weeks. Then there will be an interims release. Ah ... do you see these oversized clocks under the translucent window there? they 're turning hands with much joy - and the GUI Service composes the neat desktop layout with all the application local buffers (which are shared memory entities - which causes me a load of headache ...) Just wait what's gonna come ... I have lots of stuff around my ears, so development takes its time and continues at a slow pace.

Something small. Just a translucent window. Alpha channel usage.

The net service in action. You see packetexplorer examining a sequence of arp & icmp ethernet frames. This version of BlueIllusionOS also sports some commands to start and stop network interfaces - and to configure them.

BlueIllusion 0.06

The new FileChooser Control in action: in the gbrowse application as well as in the Background chooser application. Further you see three instances of the viewer application, rough as it is, in action - started from gbrowse.

a Graphics demo and some new icons - just to brag around. Not much happened above the hood after all. The image changes when you click on it.

The new clientside-controls. Look, the terminal is buildt with such a control based upon cliendside-control. It's the ui_textarea control. It has quite a lot of options and can be used as a means to handle a gui-based texteditor too. I'm quite proud of it, because it - simply works.
