> What about a startbutton? that folds itself up'n'down instead of the static toolbar. I like and dislike autohides, you could have the toolbar zap away if you mouse isnt near, but then in arachne you could be unlazy and press "*" Maybe make a X11 clone for dos, bit like Deskview make an arachne for it. and port a good desktop to it (Like gnome)

Hmm, have emulation. I dont quite like that but running programs in windows is handy, the only way half this happens is if polak makes Arachne open source. > - this will need a mime.cfg flag to tell arachne not to clear screen but > instead to shadow itself(black dots?), and to redraw screen when returning. ? no comment > Also, good documentation on all the files (like arachne.pck) that is used. > -This would help people like me to write programs that expands the functionality of arachne. > Maybe even put together libraries for popular compilers like TASM/MASM,) with predefined > widgets How bout real languages that are more portable like C++ and C > for use in programs that should be integrated and have the arachne look'n'feel. > (like cdplayers, calculators or even small games like "w95-solitaire" ) Ok dude, im seeing that if you where in charge i would see arachne as another bloated O/S like windows. Why not put a BSOD in the problem you see with windows is no windows is just one reason i like arachne goto a Pornsite and Millions of windows will flash before your eyes. > And finally, make a cleanup in the use of external protocols, to make it possible > to use a homemade downloader as smooth as if it was integrated. > ( Like HTTPS:// ,Zmodem:// ,or something else... ) What???! Zmodem this is TCP/IP not a dumb terminal application. But yes arachne needs HTTPS to ever be liked by a "Dumb" user. > I have seen and tried a lot of desktop enviroments for dos, like seal and similar, > and i didnt like them at all, Not even the one mentioned earlier on this mailinglist.
