Windowed modes, GUI

The forum is locked. These are the original blitzbasic.com forums, kept so they can still be read. No new topics, replies or edits can be made here. To join in, head over to the Blitz3D+ forums.

In the documentation for the Graphics command, it says "improved support for windowed modes will be added shortly". Can I assume that if I write a game in fullscreen mode now, that it will be trivial to make it windowed (even at different window sizes)?

The next question is a likely follow-up. What is BRL's priority of adding support for GUI elements and canvas-style drawing, ala BlitzPlus? Is it "top priority, soon", or is BRL leaving that up to third-party module developers, or something in between? Will the GUI commands be portable out of the box, or will we need to use separate modules for each OS/GUI Library?

Thanks.
