Free user interface software for linux

General Graphics User Interface is an effort to produce a common graphical user interface for any command-line program.

It uses a wizard-like input front end to collect the information needed. It then calls the desired program automatically with all the necessary options.

The user is able to point&click on various options and select them in a convenient way. In order to create a new user-interface, a user doesnt need to know a programming language, since there is a graphical editor for new GGUI "scripts".

RULI stands for Resolver User Layer Interface. Its a library built on top of an asynchronous DNS stub resolver. RULI provides an easy-to-use interface for querying DNS SRV resource records. The goal is to promote wide deployment of SRV-cognizant software. RULI aims to fully support SRV-related standards. There are bindings for PHP, Perl, Guile/Scheme, Java, and Lua. IPv6 is supported.

Now you can understand the benefits of SRV records and please see how RULI can help you.

SRV records are more complex than A records

Handling DNS SRV is not as simple as to deal with ordinary address records. When one performs a query for A records by calling gethostbyname(), he gets a list of addresses which should be contacted in the same order as they were received. For SRV records, there is an additional logic that must be applied to the records, based on their weight and priority, to discover the correct sequence for contacting them.
RULI can handle SRV records for you

The SRV logic is described in RFC 2782. Those who intend to use SRV benefits in their application are expected to implement that exact behavior. RULI can help here: it automatically performs all the SRV logic for you.
Keep focus on your application logic

Application developers probably want to spend time on their business logic; not dealing with the details of the DNS protocol or implementing the SRV specification.

RULI is a tested framework designed to properly fetch SRV records. It saves you time and head aches.
RULI is free as in free beer and in free speech

Cuiterm is a CUI (Composite User Interface) terminal.
CUI (Composite User Interface) is a compound type of user interface which incorporates the features of the GUI (Graphical User Interface) and the CLI (Command Line Interface) by realizing both interface in one area at the same time.
It is absolutely substantial that the CUI contains GUI elements and control language in the same area of the screen at the same time, so the incorporation is complete. CUI is not an optional, alternatively selectable combination of the two communication method but a truly new approach.
An other relevant feature of the CUI method is that it uses generated commands. When the user activated some GUI part of the user interface an automatically generated command appears to complete the task so the user can observ how the CLI part of the user interface can be used.
The cuiterm is a pilot application for the CUI methodology made to demonstrate the power of the composite user interfaces. As terminals are usually used with some shell to start simple UNIX utility programs, the Cui library can be considered as a composite user interface for the shell and some UNIX utilities. The following screenshot shows the starting screen of the cuiterm.
How to use it?
To test the composite user interface first you have to download the cuiterm and and install it. After the installation is complete the program can be started with the cuiterm command.
When the terminal emulator started it can be used the usual way by typing commands into it. Some programs and some complex commands are interpreted by the terminal and colorized (see the list below). For these commands the screen should have active areas usable with the left mouse button by double clicking on them. The output of some programs have floating menus with context sensitive functions. The menus can be accessed by the right mouse button. Some parts of the screen can be used to fire up a text entry field by holding down the left mouse button.
The following list contains some interpreted and processed commands that are worth trying.
ls -l and some variants of it
df
who
w
ps aux
stat
finger
cat /etc/fstab
Enhancements:
- This version contains new features, including an automatic GUI generator which creates dialog boxes from manual pages, a working progress bar, enhanced size bars, and some new command parsers.
- The drag and drop, the speed of the terminal, and the existing parsers were also enhanced.

Piorun Jabber Client is a Jabber client for Gnome with user interface simmilar to IRC clients.

Currenly implemented features include: standard chat, multi-user chat, roster and subscriptions management, VCards, privacy lists, secure connections (TLS and SALSL).
Piorun is written using Mono/Gtk#

Ubuntu Bootloader Manager is a graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring GRUBs menu.lst.

This app is still very alpha, use at your own risk and make sure to make a backup of our grub config file (/boot/grub/menu.lst).

OpenPFC project is a class library for implementing intelligent consumer electronics as quickly and efficiently as possible.
We address the proliferation of consumer electronics standards by providing common functionality while not restricting use to any single standard.
We also try to introduce special performance not traditionally found in consumer electronics.
PFC is mainly defined by the PFC core. This is a set of objects not specific to any single application.
With this in mind, PFC is not intended for writing desktop applications in a general purpose computing environment.
The runtime configuration of PFC is not intended to be reconfigured by users at the command line level.
User interfaces to PFC products are expected to be simple and media intensive.
Main features:
- Realtime multimedia
- Low memory
- Low CPU speed
- Devices with persistent storage
- Devices without persistent storage
- Advanced user interface rendering
- Fast user interface responsiveness
- 3D user interfaces

poker-network project includes a poker server, a client library, an abstract user interface library, and a client based on it.

The server deals the cards and checks the user actions using a poker game engine (poker-engine). It listens on a TCP/IP port and understands its own specific protocol. The persistent information is stored in a MySQL database.

The client library implements the poker-network protocol for the client. The abstract user interface library provides a framework based on the client library and suited to implement a user friendly client.

SMSSender is an application for sending SMS messages.

It provides a user interface with a drop-down list of available cell phone carriers and text areas for the telephone number, subject, and SMS body.
