Emerge Desktop 4.1.3 | 5,78 Mb
Emerge Desktop
is a replacement windows "shell" (the desktop environment normally
provided by Windows Explorer) for Windows 2000 and above. In order to
replace Windows Explorer as a shell, it provides a system tray (the area
that collects the icons collected at the lower right corner in
Explorer), called emergeTray. It will also provide access to the users
programs (normally accessed with the windows "start" button) via a
right-click on the desktop, via emergeCore.
Emerge Desktop is
implemented with MinGW which is an OpenSource implementation of the GNU C
compiler and utilities. Up to this point, closed source commercial
projects have mainly been used (Microsoft Visual C++, Borland Delphi) to
develop alternate shells as they use proprietary Microsoft API
features. With Microsoft releasing more detailed information about these
API calls, the MinGW win32api is now quite complete. Additionally,
several web sites on the internet have started to include documentation
and code that illustrate how to access and use these functions.
Emerge Desktop has an open API, which allows for applets to be coded with compilers other than MinGW if someone wishes to do so.
Emerge
Desktop is written in C++, primarily developed with MinGW and is
licensed as OpenSource (under the GPL). All the source is available in
Subversion at Sourceforge. Emerge Desktop can be developed using
Code::Blocks, an IDE for MinGW.
From a design point of view,
Emerge Desktop applets are capable of being run as both standalone as
well as being integrated. In order for Emerge Desktop applets to
communicate with each other, emergeCore must be running. Without
emergeCore, each applet will run independently (if, for example, you
wish to use them in conjunction with another desktop shell).
OS: Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista
