very cool! I could see that being extremely useful with a rich text editor in one of the "windows", or a chat application with one window being the chat window, another being a "private" chat window and another being the participant list.

me likey very much...I'll dig into it a little deeper later when I get a bit more time.

nice work!

I saw another similar project recently that had duplicated the windows desktop fairly well, down to the start menu, systray, the whole thing.

Basically, for the paradigm to work, you want it to have almost as much functionality as the desktop. ie, chat (AIM/Yahoo/ICQ), clock, speaker icon, and so on.

Looks like a fun project!

It IS really fun to go outside the normal php-programming ;)

but the goal here is not to create a full DE, just a good WM for the web. (But that doesn't prevent people from creating a DE with jpwm as a base ;))
