One layer, to translate between them all

<< < (2/2)

Master of Reality:
uhhh.. there is already 2 layers to the graphic part of linux. There is the X server and then the GUI.
right now its like:
--- Code: ---
--- End code ---
so where are you saying you want another layer?

output(monitor) and input (keyboard/mouse) <-> xserver <-> here <-> GUI

The idea is that all applications would be consistent with the current desktop environment. or if a user wanted everything to be gnome/gtk they could just go into a configuration tool, choose it, click ok and then every app is suddenly gnome.

Solo, you might be interested in the GUI independence page of LyX.

Thank you (adds to bookmarks) ive been wondering if anyone has been doing this, and im guessing that list refers to gui-independent interfaces? This could be of very good use.
