Hiya,

What file is the actual desktop part of the kernel in?

Thank you

Hmm, that answer is probably more complicated than what you were actually wanting to know.

The building blocks of the GUI are in the src/kernel/kernelWindow* files. The kernel thread that sets up the desktop and monitors GUI events, etc., is in kernelWindowThread.*. The config files that control some of what that thread does are in dist/system/config/. The GUI elements that are composites of the basic ones (file browsing widget, etc) are in src/lib/libwindow.

Hope that helps.

I guess what I'm really trying to ask is all about the top bar. I found the config file for it, I just cant trace the code to the actuall rendering of the bar. I assume its using the menu component?

Thank you

The generic code for menu bar components is in src/kernel/kernelWindowMenuBar.c, and the code that creates that particular menu bar (and other desktop elements) is in src/kernel/kernelWindowShell.c.

Hope that helps!

Thats great! One more question: where are all of the "debug_gui" messages logged? I would like to look at them to precisely see whats what at run time.
