Hi Andre,
there is absolutely nothing wrong with platform depending GUIs. What I
want to create is an alternative GUI for all of those Amiga users who
want to play old Amiga games. It is very nice when you may switch
between those games just by pressing a hot-key and select the new game
from a screen-shot. Today E-UAE has no smart config file selector in the
GTK configuration.
And a GTK GUI is not very nice if you don't want to use GTK on your
machine at all.
Of course such a GUI is useless for all of those E-UAE users who still
use the Amiga for real tasks; that is an Amiga running AmigaOS 3.9
Workbench and all the good old programs.
Regards, Jochen
