Description
This is a GUI I put together back in January 2000 of the early BeOS releases. Damn, I love the BeOS interface!
Parts:
OneClick custom palette (the top-left corner (the Be symbol) opens a menu with various choices for system stuff , the top-right corner displays the icon of whatever app you are in, and clicking on one of the tiles opens that item (in this case I grouped my apps and files into categories and assigned a representative icon to each), K Scheme: BeOS, Font: a bitmap I drew in ResEdit from many screenshots, BG is a simple color block from a screenshot, BeOS icons. NOT SHOWN: ByeByeMbar (to kill the menu bar).

Okay, uh, uh, wow... What do I say? I just found this now. This is like, amazing.
This is me!! This design.. I just completely agree with it.
Could you port this to Linux or something? Or at least open the code?
Or if you refuse to open the code... well... a port to Linux would still be cool.
Or maybe port it to Syllable, a free alternative OS - it's quite a beta, but it's relatively stable, so you might like to consider that. Or port it to "BeOS 2.0" - the Haiku project.
I... I just... *stutters* *looks at some more* love this!

The GUI appearance is completely derived from BeOS so I won't take credit for any of that.
What part of it are you wanting ported? It seems Haiku has everything shown here but the dock on the left. That was a feature of early developer release versions of the BeOS which was later replaced with a dock/pager like the one in Haiku.
