Finished

Finished?

So my project for university has come to a conclusion, I have designed it’s basic layout including the Base Station, Browser and Files plus the toolbar etc that would be on top of all windows.

I have changed the way some common tasks are done to streamline the interface and quicken interactivity, including combining the Cut, Copy and Paste buttons and also combining the Minimise, Maximise and Fullscreen buttons.

The demo station is hardly fully functional or pretty (such as gold background on the Files window, instead of it being transparent). However this is a demo after all.

Yes the basic design is finished, but you could say this is only the beginning…

Gold background would be non-existent/transparent in a final product.

The title of this GUI/project is not very important as it is mainly about new ways of interacting with things, however I am thinking of naming it the Colossus GUI or Colossus OS, after the name of the first ever electronic computer (Colossus Computer).

The Colossus Computer was the first electronic computer and was developed by Tommy Flowers for the UK government at the Post Office Research Station in 1943 (Mk II in 1944).
It was used to crack Nazi codes, by the end of the war 10 Colossus computers were in use.
