Very cool! I made a conscious decision to not really use any kind of frameworks or huge libraries. I developed my own canvas based implementation of Linux/Unix/*nix libcurses in pure JS, from the ground up.

I didnt check the page source yet, but it is well done. Ahh, I knew I would have to sit down and take as much time as necessary in order to get that right. You can check out magnification by clicking on the desktop and going to System-Settings, and then clicking the Dock tab. Try moving icons from the Applications folder onto the Dock. Make the dock really small, and the maginification level really big in order to see something cool! Just that the menu doesnt close if you click te title again. Not sure quite what you mean, but I can assure you this thing is FAR from being bug-free :) But other than that - great :) Cool... thx for the feedback! Am Mi.

Quick note to potential users - My Adblock killed this. Once I fixed that, it seems to be working fine.
