Devlog - 01
Started work on KAKUSEIOS (KaOS), a custom themed WebOS built in vanilla HTML/CSS/JS.
First 20 sum minutes = Fleshing out HTML/CSS skeleton and JS properties.
The concept: instead of a standard landing page, the OS boots through a fake Arch Linux TTY sequence. You log in as USER, run ‘exec kakusei’, watch a gold progress bar fill, then the desktop fades in.
Built out the full foundation today:
Boot sequence: a typewriter terminal effect with configurable line speed and delay per line. Gold loading bar with named stages (Initializing, Loading window manager, Mounting desktop, etc). Transitions via CSS opacity fade into the OS layer.
Desktop is a deep navy/black palette with gold accents throughout. Glassmorphism windows with gold borders and glow. Fixed topbar with OS name, Japanese subtitle (覚醒), and live clock. Kanji character icon placeholders for apps.
Simple WIP Window manager- draggable windows from header handle, open/close system, z-index stacking so last-clicked window always sits on top. Topbar always stays above everything. createWindow() helper lets you spin up new apps without rewriting.
(Working out bugs)
Currently working on: About window: first functional app, OS origin, etc…
Next up: building out functional apps starting with an in-OS terminal.
