+Directory Structure

+===================

+

+libnxwidgets

+

+  The source code, header files, and build environment for NxWidgets is

+  provided in this directory. 

+

+UnitTests

+

+  Provides a collection of unit-level tests for many of the individual

+  widgets provided by libnxwidgets.

+

+nxwm

+

+  This directory holds a tiny desktop for small embedded devices with a

+  touchscreen,. NxWM.  NxWM is truly multiple window manager but only one

+  window is displayed at a time.  This simplification helps performance on

+  LCD based products (in the same way that a tiled window manager helps)

+  and also makes the best use of small displays.  It is awkward from a

+  human factors point-of-view trying to manage multiple windows on a

+  small display.

+

+  The window manager consists of a task bar with icons representing the

+  running tasks.  If you touch the tasks icon, it comes to the top.  Each

+  window has a toolbar with (1) a title, (2) a minimize button, and (3) a

+  stop application button using the standard icons for these things.

+

+  There is always a start window that is available in the task bar.  When

+  you touch the start window icon, it brings up the start window containing

+  icons representing all of the available applications.  If you touch an

+  icon in the start window, it will be started and added to the task bar.

+

+  There is a base class that defines an add-on application and an

+  interface that supports incorporation of new application.  The only

+  application that is provided is NxConsole.  This is an  NSH session

+  running in a window.  I should be able to select the NX icon in the start

+  menu and create as many NSH sessions in windows as I want. (keybard input

+  still comes through serial).
