DevLog #7
I’ve started building the WebOS Settings area.
So far, I’ve implemented two main options:
- Change the wallpaper
- Change the taskbar color
Honestly, it’s not particularly pretty or practical yet, but it’s a start.
To make things easier, I added the ability to change the wallpaper using an image URL, which makes the process faster and simpler. Also, all changes are saved to localStorage, which was the most practical way I found to persist the data.
Window controls (inspired by macOS)
I also added window control buttons based on Apple Inc.’s system:
- 🟥 Red → closes the window
- 🟨 Yellow → minimizes the window
- 🟩 Green → expands / toggles full screen
Taskbar
Now, when a window is opened, the app automatically appears on the taskbar.
I haven’t managed to get the icons looking exactly how I wanted yet, so for now, I’ve just displayed the app name with a stylized border to maintain visual organization.
