LÖVE

Thats nice button. I will use them for menu on desktop, I will also needs start menu icon and vapor ware versions icons (best with version numbers) and toolbar (its like button but square and no shading on start and end). So I will skin OpenBox by myself...
And that babies for background?

But first I will do proto-distro with ugly skin just for my own testing and than I will needs your help with theme design...

I'll have to be the ~bad news guy~ again. What about drivers? The open source drivers have issues with OpenGL, and you can't bundle the proprietary drivers, as that would violate the GPL. That doesn't mean you should give up right away, tho. But we're gonna have to run some tests.

The good thing is that open drivers are likely to get much better from now on, GPU makers are getting all friendly because of SteamOS.

Can you show a window at first boot telling the user that those drivers need to be downloaded, with a button to do it automatically?

Thats right... Yep there must be weblink for drivers and people will install them by theirself.

I think we should add a Lua developer's console so that we could develop in the operating system. Also, we could build a webpage with LOVE games listed and have hyperlinks that would automatically start an FTP download from a central server.

Regarding the driver issue, I think it all goes back to the question of where things will be saved. In my experience, changing drivers always requires a reboot. So we'll need a folder in the user's computer, and Lilove must be able to find that folder automatically.

There's already some projects with that in mind, like Vapor and Lövely Files.

Vapor is zlib/libpng: I would be honored if you included it in the iso :)

I like this idea, and have been toying with doing the same thing with porteus :)

Now I am making Love game console!
