| Costa 1.0.0 by TheWalrus | 2012-05-17 18:52:48 | At last, after almost a decade of hobby coding, Costa har reached the 1.0.0
milestone and is no longer in the BETA phase! I worked on various TUI (Text-
mode User Interfaces) from 2001 onwards, before swicthing to GUI development
and releasing the first version with the name Costa in 2004.
Since version 0.9.9, not much has changed - the focus has been on improving
stability, and fixing any bugs I could stumble upon.
I'm pleased that Costa actually reached version 1.0.0, considering how very little time I've been able to spend on it an how I've been devoted to other projects. But here it is!
Costa 1.0.0 | | Comments | | GUIs on Facebook by Brandon | 2012-04-06 19:02:35 | | I just created a Facebook page that you can 'like' that is for DOS GUIs:
http://www.facebook.com/dosguis | | Comments | | Version 1.5 by Dick | 2012-01-04 19:11:43 | | I should probably upload this one with the proper text editor to replace the current uploaded version. Also has the new resizable file manager. right click and hold to select files/mutliple files. ctrl+x to copy ctrl+v to paste ctrl+m to move, Delete key to delete. ctrl+click to open file in new window. .BAS and .TXT file open in text editor. everything should be fairly error free. Dick's FB GUI version 1.5 | | Comments | | Progress by Dick | 2012-01-03 17:54:59 | I've fixed up the text editor and it now uses doubly linked lists which makes editing/inserting/ etc pretty fast and memory efficient. It's 100% functional now and opens/saves files perfectly. Prefect scolling and resizing too. As you can see by the picture, I've made the file manager fully resizable and you can now select groups of files which are ready to be copied/moved/or deleted anywhere and across multiple windows. The file manager geometry is very polished and you can safely scroll / resize and select any size and any direction.There's still many things to add before I can release a full version 2, but I'll post my progress here for now. | | Comments | | Bitmap load & resizing, improved menu, & improved background etc by Dick | 2011-12-26 06:26:37 | I have now added ability to load 8bit bmp files and those files can be moved around, resized, & multiple at a time. To resize a bmp image, left click on it and hold while moving the mouse. To bring it back to original size and palette, right click on it. I have added submenus to my menus now, so thats cool. I've also added the option of disabling/centering/& stretching the background. It's quite amazing how much you can get done without QB's limits dragging you down. And best of all, it's fairly functional at 3000 dosbox cycles, although image stuff is slow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AADPUNbInvw Here is a video ofcourse, notice the conflicting palettes. sample images provided.
