Kumiko GUI - Amiga Workbench 3.1 GUI for Windows

milika · 27 March 2007, 06:43

Really dont know the right room for this - so ill just post it here. Please moderators move it if needed...

For all Amiga fans this will be very easy to explain. This is a project which will try to bring all old and well beloved applications, as well as create new ones, but with the look and feel of genuine Wokbench 3.1 environment. This is not a windows skin/them or similar. These programs look like this, and behave like this, and only like this. No windows blinds can change that. Just to make it even clearer, this is a windows exe, so it will work on practically any windows. This is NO emulation, and NO skin. Try it and see.

Go to http://www.milika.net and click on the Kumiko GUI icon
Please Try it and report back, i am eager to hear form real Amiga fans!

For all you other, less fortunate users, who do not know what Amiga or Workbench is, this is just a freeware apps project.

This is a screen shoot of first and simplest api - Calculator.

some usefull apps... who can say no?

milika · 27 March 2007, 07:53

If this has some nice responses, give me few weeks and ill start porting

keropi · 27 March 2007, 08:00

what else you have in mind to port???

milika · 27 March 2007, 08:39

Anything you like. Perhpas next would be either FileMaster or Dopus

keropi · 27 March 2007, 08:40

Dopus already exists for amiga...
how about porting a nice archiving prog that has similar functionality to winrar? (easy to use...)

Methanoid · 27 March 2007, 08:45

Hmmm seemed just like Amiga but was a PITA to have it so small on a Windows desktop. Needs to be re-sizable!!

Whether or not this was popular I think a DOPUS port would be cool. Isn't there DOPUS for Windows anyway?

milika · 27 March 2007, 08:56

@keropi this is not amiga port - its reversed!
@methanoid - yes there is - but its not free and i really dont like pc port. Small -

- yes it is and it actually is resizable, but i just turned it off for genuine feel!

keropi · 27 March 2007, 09:00

ah, you mean port the pc dopus....

milika · 27 March 2007, 09:18

hm. ok simple
DOpus for PC!

keropi · 27 March 2007, 09:39

OMG, I feel stupid.
I thought you where porting stuff to AOS, now I see u make aos-like apps for windows...
sorry for the mess.

milika · 27 March 2007, 09:57

np easy to make that mistake. and its nice to see that my apps are so similar to original

Chain · 27 March 2007, 19:36

dopus is already for win, but looks compeltely different

(

what about good old Filemaster (from Toni Wilen

)? there is source avaiable iirc

Jerry · 27 March 2007, 19:48

Dopus 4 for PC would be great. Btw, is it truly a gui library and is it platform independent eg could the apps be compiled to linux and such? That would be awesome.

ant512 · 27 March 2007, 20:02

DOpus 4 for Windows? Man, that'd be fantastic!

SilentBob · 27 March 2007, 22:35

Definitely. If you could look into Dopus 4 for Windows it would rock.

milika · 27 March 2007, 23:44

So what next, DOpus of FileMaster i love them both?

@jerry yes i am trying to make it so. It is going pretty well do far.

BippyM · 28 March 2007, 09:08

Dopus 4

keropi · 28 March 2007, 09:32

I tried the calculator, it is very small in 1024x768 resolution...

milika · 28 March 2007, 10:02

that is intended like that... true amiga resolution.
Perhaps i need to create double size, but u know, it will not look exactly the same then.. Or i could use different fonts, again not the same
