Create a gui for linux.
-
Hiii... I wanna create a Gui like windows operating system for Linux. The latest Linux versions are user friendly .But I want to do this as a mini project just for practice. So my aim is a simple gui for Linux. And there are so many gui development tools like gtk, Kdevelopr, Qt/...etc. Which one I've to select , which one is better for my need. Presently I use Fedora 11. Wait for a reply... thanking you KRISH:thumbsdown:

Writing Window Manager for Linux is a very big project. It is not going to be a mini project, it is a life time project. To write a Window Manager you will need to understand Linux at the lower level, you will need to read about Linux kernel, system calls, X-server and many other things. You cannot use Qt, KDevelop, GTK or any other library because they assume that a Window Manager is already running. If this is only for learning then I will suggest that you write a program in top of an existing Window Manager and you can use Qt for that purpose. This means that your GUI manager will be an application in an existing window manager. -Saurabh
