DOS开发编程 & 发展交流（开发室） » Question about the development of the DOS interface

Today I tried some software on the Windows platform, like MSN Explorer, and felt that their interfaces really are quite good! They give people a very friendly feeling. I think DOS should also learn from some of Windows's strong points to make up for its own shortcomings. I think that, in terms of the DOS interface, at least the following major changes should be made: 1: Let DOS fully support background images, instead of being uniformly black. For example, support formats such as GIF and JPG; 2: Let DOS support custom skins, so that DOS can feel much more friendly; 3: Give DOS full 3D effects and some custom special effects, to give people a more realistic feeling. What does everyone think?

Hope everyone will actively take part in DOS interface development and make DOS even better....

Talk specifically about how to implement it...

Step 1: think through the concept; Step 2: set up a development team; Step 3: begin the development work; Step 4: debugging, release, and use.

I can't help much in this area, so I can only wish all you experts success as soon as possible!

How many people here can program? What is the final goal? For the development language, different people use different languages, so how should mixed programming be handled? How much time is estimated to be needed Who will serve as the system analyst There are still many detailed issues that need to be considered PS: If Win98 is said to be based on DOS and has many errors, then will what we make also have many errors???

Hmm, this needs a detailed plan...

It should require a very detailed plan, and it will take a long time

Yes... As for mixed programming, sometimes it actually is feasible! Last time when my classmates and I worked on programming together, I used Visual C#, and some others used Visual Basic, and the resulting program was pretty good too! Later our group got a perfect score!

This work needs a lot of people, so the issue of mixed programming has to be considered, because everyone knows different languages Personally I feel that mixed programming with C and assembly is very powerful

The author of DOSLFN used mixed programming with PASCAL and ASM, and it's really very compact.

For programs under DOS, assembly is necessary, especially for programs related to the system In addition, when doing this work we should consider adding system function calls, but that would make things even more complicated...

Question about the development of the DOS interface I have already made a high-resolution GUI development tool: 1: Let DOS fully support background images, instead of being uniformly black. For example, support formats such as BMP; 2: Let DOS support custom skins, so that DOS can feel much more friendly; 3: Give DOS full 3D effects and some custom special effects, to give people a more realistic feeling. 4: Support transparent images, transparent Chinese characters, and so on. What does everyone think?
