SavaJe OS GUI shell

The GUI shell that appears when SavaJe OS is booted is the primary user interface for end users. The GUI shell uses the Java network launching protocol (JNLP) to launch applications from desktop icons. See jnlp(shell) .

The following picture shows an example of the SavaJe OS GUI shell:

 

At the top of the GUI shell is a clock and battery icons that represent the battery in the iPAQ itself and the battery in the sleeve (if present). The J icon at upper right displays the SavaJe OS About screen, including version information.

The icons on the tabbed panels represent Java applications that can be run by touching the icon. Each icon is associated with a JNLP-style application descriptor file (See jnlp(shell) ).

There is a command-line shell that can be used for development. See lsh(shell) .

Replacing the GUI shell

It is possible to replace the default GUI shell with another application. See prop(shell) for information about setting the system property savaJe.shell .
