"It's now safe to turn off your computer" screen should be displayed after shutdown.

Shutdown does not seem to do much of anything. I just get a black screen with one white underscore: black screen with underscore

If shutdown does what it did on Windows 95 -- stop all running processes and wait for you to pull the plug -- there should be some assurance once this is finished. Preferably, the traditional message from Windows 95... windows 95 shutdown screen

Actually, this machine cannot recover from either Shutdown or Restart. If you make something changes to the hard disk and then choose Start | Shutdown | Restart Computer, scarcely can you recover it from the previous state.

It doesn't show the boot screen either if you discard the state. Apparently it doesn't support the particular Mode-X mode used by the boot and shutdown screens.

Sadly this means I can't use 32-bit colour :(

Is it very needed?

Well, the bug part of this issue is fixing the shutdown. Right now, shutting down breaks the app. Technically, that issue is at #38.

I suppose not, but by that reasoning nothing is. What I'm saying is merely that it'd be a nice feature for certain games, for instance. However, as you said - not required at all.

See my comment on issue #174 for an explanation on why this isn't easy to do, and why this isn't implemented.
