Control panel
This is the screen color section of the Windows control panel. The gradient selection bars suggests possible support for true color graphics. Note that there is no way to easily select solid colors from any existing pallet.

Dialog controls
A typical Windows dialog box showing option buttons, check boxes, a text box and command buttons. These controls are provided by Windows, so the program does not need to worry about drawing or controlling them.

Also shown is the only game that shipped with Windows 1.x, reversi.

The windows can be moved around the screen and can be tiled in different ways other than horizontally. This picture shows reversi and the clock tiled in the corner of the screen, although the edges of all of the windows are still locked together.


Windows 1.01 can run some dos applications in a window. Surprisingly this version of windows can start windows applications from the command prompt. When running multiple DOS applications the applications appear to be multitasked.

Exit
The best part of Windows 1.x.
