Update

So I finished coding the CoreObject class and its working wonderfully. Finally some code I realy like which is simple and small. It took me a few hours to write which shows that designing code is the hard part, not writing the code. I am coding 'Saturn' which is a Shell explorer (without a programmer API and without virtual object support) that will show a few of my ideas like the Icon bar. By not releasing an API, it takes off the pressure of having legacy applications when I want to code 'Safire' (which is the full Screens experience). Saturn will allow you to view databases and records as files and folders, so you can see memos as actual files in a folder which should allow a more interesting ability to handle records of different types. It would allow you to able to view your records without your application. So bitmaps are viewable, text is opened with a notepad like application and forms can be created using an IDE and so on (dont know about the last idea...). This will show of the layering system which allows for movable windows with no flickering and the module based behaviour. Stay tuned (yes... this is another lets try again post...)
