2 Greetings,
3
4 This is FBUI, whose purpose is to implement an in-kernel
5 GUI that offers minimal functionality within a tiny space;
6 and FBUI Library, which exists to make using FBUI's ioctls
7 simpler. Why in-kernel? To put a limit on GUI bloat.
8
9 FBUI is not intended to satisfy all users' needs.
10 For instance, the typical home computer user will not want
11 to use it since it doesn't support overlapping windows,
12 which are a bad idea anyway.
13
14 However for those of us who accept its limitations
15 and requirements, and see virtue in its simplicity and
16 lack of bloat, it may be preferable.
17
18 Enjoy,
