What's the point? You don't need to predict what the UI should be like. The application tells the system exactly what it wants it to look like. And it does it with a fraction of the resources.

Also, it isn't an OS in any way shape or form. It's just another slop video generator. It even tries to "simulate" the applications themselves. One can just run the application itself, instead of simulating it. Case in point: try going anywhere except google.com in the "browser".

What problem is this trying to solve? And "to show how it might look" is not a valid answer, because it is designed to look like xfce4. It is not trying to generate a UI or something. And I can just run xfce4 in termux on my phone right now and be able to see exactly how it looks. How do you expect this to be a useful UI framework? Remember, the existing xfce4 works perfectly all the time, and this is just designed to (badly) simulate it only most of the time. What is the value proposition of something like this?
