Changes Made

Improved fonts and spacing, improved opening apps, shows the icon of the app. I also improved the calculator

Improved fonts

I was just using the default fonts earlier because I am not very creative, but I decided to change it to Inter and Consolas.

Improved app opening

Earlier to determine the apps the user has installed as a temporary solution I just scrapped their desktop. But that did not return everything, and I finally fixed it I tried a bunch but the that worked for me was using some commands through power shell. That gets all the apps that windows knows about.

The icons

Now the program will show the user the icon of the app they want to open. there are three different kinds of app Id’s in windows and I have to assess their photos differently for each, which added alot of complexity and is the whole reason this devlog took so long.

Better calculator

The calculator has a few improvements the first being it now has the constants pi and e baked into it. It can also now do square roots and trigonometric functions. The trigonometric functions are interesting because they can be done with radians or degrees if the user types sin(90deg). It will use 90 degrees instead of the default being radians.
