GUI Application Launcher and windowing system
#1
Well I havent worked on my GUI for a long while. Monthes...

So the other day I randomly got started working on it again.

I tried to totally rewrite it from scratch but didnt get the result i wanted.

So, I thought, why not just take my version that works and simplify the hell out of it.

I rewrote most sections piece by piece, and now the code is over 200 lines smaller.

The windows dont resize or maximize anymore, only minimize, move, and restore back to window.

some of the icons on the desktop launch external applications, some are minimized windows.

all the shortcuts will need to be changed because they are set up for my computer.

also, a few shortcuts are set up to open a file browser pointed at a specific directory.



I tacked on the background image subroutines as an afterthought so changing the wallpaper is all the way at the end of the program.

and adding new shortcuts and windows is at the top.



Here are some screenshots:
