GUIs for the Pandora

Over the development of the Pandora, many different graphical interfaces have been discussed, but there has always been some recognition that there are different use cases. There is the full-desktop style environment, set up for multi-tasking etc. and a minimal, no overhead, gaming optimised environment. These environments are referred to as the Graphical User Interface for the Pandora. Currently, both run on top of the X-windowing system and the Linux operating system. For the application (be it word processor or emulator) this should mean that the active GUI makes little difference.

MiniMenu

MiniMenu offers an application developer a high degree of flexibility, see Minimenu configuration documentation. This gives the appearance of the applications being closely integrated with the Pandora's built-in menuing system.

Change The Default Browser

This also applies to other applications. To change the default browser to chromium[1] Go to SETTINGS, PREFERRED APPLICATIONS and in the drop down list choose other and enter the following : 

'pnd_run /media/SD_CARD_NAME/pandora/apps/APPNAME.pnd' "%s"

The quotes are important, use the a key and the s key. You need to use the name which you have given to your SD card, it does not matter which slot the card is in, but this will then only work properly when the browser application is in an inserted card.
