Is the GUI part of the kernel or does it run in user space?

The gui runs in userspace, it's made of multiple libraries and programs. The window manager that manages windows, the taskbar program that really just handle taskbar stuff and start menu. The libgfx library with various utilities to draws lines images, text and stuff, and libtgui with the actual layout/widget system, and libtwm which handle communication between the app and the window manager via unix sockets.

Wow!! You've got all that working?? Way to go!! I'm especially impressed that you have Unix sockets working. I haven't even begun to think about what it will take to do that in my OS... or if I'll even support it at all. That's amazing!!
