[ros-kernel] What we really need - Not explorer

[Steven E. <Ste...@kn...>]

Is the registry and gdi working right. To atract more developers or at least
let them know about about this project we need press. Did anyone else see
the posting on slashdot about PetrOS? the only reason it got press was
because they have a GDI that is somewhat like in windows. 

Trying to build a explorer replacement or even really think about it right
now is kinda stupid when i cant even run winhello yet.

We were discussing darkstep ( which is the next generation litestep
afaik ) 
the other day on ros-general.  The bottom line is that none of these
'shell 
replacements' are true shells.  They do not provide an interface to the 
shell namespace ( rooted at the desktop and going down into my computer,

etc ), but instead only provide a desktop application launcher.  The
other 
problem that I have with running darkstep is that you have to precisely 
configure EVERYTHING in the step.rc.  For instance, I tried out a theme 
that came with a preconfigured step.rc for 1024 x 768.  In order to
modify 
this to work on my 1280 x 1024 screen, I had to edit the step.rc and
modify 
the pixel coordinates of every single bitmap, button, or other visual 
component on the desktop to make it fit the screen.
