Today the Fun500 6 base system was rewritten, this time with a more standard window manager. I had trouble getting Z-Ordering working properly, so it currently uses the same fake system I've used in the past.		2010-04-099:27 PM

So windows won't be tiled anymore?		2010-04-106:54 AM

Nope, I tested on my 486 and my movable windows are pretty fast.
When I got added the functionality to launch external EXEs, I realized that I need to be able to redraw application windows anyways (when you shell and EXE you go to screen 0) so I desided it wouldn't be hard at all to make movable windows. And with movable windows variable sizes are possible along with the ability to have more than 4 apps open at a time (currently the limit is coded at 10, probably it will be dynamic eventually, but redrawing 10 apps on a 386 would be somewhat slow)		2010-04-108:43 AM

I fixed my Z-Order routines!! Now I want to finish my menu system and then I'll upload Pre-Alpha 5.		2010-04-1011:53 AM
