a framework to create GUIs easily outside MineOS?

Question

i want to make a GUI based OS (hopefully one with a windows GUI instead of a MacOS one..) but i realised i can't actually figure out the screen or GPU APIs. (too complicated and doesn't give enough information) so i need your help!

what i require:

a way to import images (MineOS paint images, custom painting tool or something)

ability to show text alongside images (clock and other cool stuff)

 

stuff that isn't required but you can add if you allow it:

ability to scale images (not required but could be cool)

transparency

 

please create a framework for this (or not i'm not forcing you )

you can see the date at which a forum post is posted, you know. :P this post is nearly a year old but thanks for the input.

i was heavily distracted by ADHD + autism and just not knowing where to start, maybe i'll work on the GUI project eventually
