@me_@sueden.social @saruwine@mementomori.social ah yes I had forgotten about GEOS, which is sweet. Did it support overlapping windows? Also the C64 at least had hardware sprites which could be very useful for a rudimentary GUI (though I’m not sure if GEOS used them).

@Setok@attractive.space @saruwine@mementomori.social IIRC GEOS was not multitasking but supported something similar to desk accessories on the Mac and in GEM, these definitely had overlapping windows. One of the C64 sprites was used for the mouse cursor, but the Apple II version had to implement it in software instead.
