Re: [ros-general] ReactOS UI...

Hi
The focus is not on UI as u think we got a UI cordinator irc:mf That is
working with other to
make a better UI for reactos. And we devloper can constrate on devloping new
stuff.
We are foucr more with compatible by apps. and implement missing api or
bugfixing api
and devloping other part that is need it.  To get more stable and
compatiblity is
same thing as implement more api that we are missing.   We are fouct on
networking
but it take time getting it stable. See 0.3.0 roadmap what we are amin at
for that release
It is so much u want todo but it take time to write and if u want printer
support start wrinting
it for us. if u want more speed, try figout what u can optimze. But we are
still in alpha, reactos
own blitblt is faster that windows xp software blitblt even some hardware
acclation blitblit.
But if u install a graphic card drv, then the graphic will be faster. Then u
got hardware accllartion
of the graphic in reactos. Our Graphic card drv vbe2.0 does not using any
hardware accltion
more that provide direct access to graphic card then our win32k need doing
all drawing it self
(software mode), If u install drv for u graphic card the drv will take over
some api in win32k and it call
down to a hardware acclation function.
