All of these are very useful patches indeed. But there's at least 4 gui toolkit available for SDL, which could ensure: - a single developpement and a uniform look - no need for a bigger space on screen (the controls could be like OSD) - independent of hw/os architecture (the original aim somehow of qemu?) I agree this is poking inside qemu itself, which can be considered "a bad thing" (tm). I'm looking at the 4 gui toolkits I mentionned. - http://www.paragui.org/ - http://guichan.sourceforge.net/ - http://agar.csoft.org/index.html.en - http://aedgui.sourceforge.net/ Let's open the discussion in a separate thread.
