GUIs Sorted By Icons

Posted by timothy on from the cool-way-to-look-at-things dept.

Ant writes "Blue's News posted an interesting link that shows a chart of icons from various interfaces. Clicking on graphical user interface (GUI) names, section names, or icons themselves will lead to the appropriate page with more details."

I'd actually like everybody to consider the fact that, while this is a very similar article to the one we saw a few days ago, linking to the same site, it is not a duplicate! The duplicate was posted last week, as a result of CmdrTaco's brand spanking new time machine.

  8. Woohoo! Someone mentioned GEOS!! by jbarr · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Oh, the memories from my college days...

    ...Printing out the document on a Star Gemini 10X dot-matrix printer...

    GEOS was an amazing system, and the port to 8088 machines was most welcome. It ran on my Casio Zoomer PDA (pre-Palm days), and on my old Hyundai XT computer. Being overshadowed by Microsoft Windows, it's too bad Geoworks never really did anything with it.

  12. Windows was that ugly for a reason... by bergeron76 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There's actually a good reason that Windows 1.0 and Windows 2.03 were so ugly on a color monitor. It's because back then, most displays were Hercules Monochrome or CGA. They displayed "shades" of amber or green, and that color scheme actually looks decent on those monitors.

    I have Windows 2.0 on 5.25" Floppy's, somewhere. I should probably resurrect them, and put them on VMWare or something for archival purposes.

    I may have to use an 8088 emulator or something similar to get it to run right. VMware might be overkill.

    I don't think I'll be able to resurrect that old Hercules Monitor (or the IBM XT) though. Man, I miss those days - XTree Pro, TheDraw, etc. Ascii used to be "cool"!
