A modular OS simulator. Designed into modules called 'applications' even the background is it's own application and can be swapped with a video player application to, for example, animate it. Basically a bit Unix like, or more precise how you can configure the Sway desktop.
I used my modular system now to create a bunch of different applications required for a desktop.
The last app (the Web browser) can’t be used to, well browse the internet. It sets a default URL automatically. I actually managed to implement a search box and a button to search. However many many websites don’t like being iframed. That is why i just hid the controls for now because why will you want to search the www when most websites don’t allow it like this.
The rest of the other applications were pretty problem free and i got everything up and working in a short period of time.
Next i will have to look at the Mission guide again on what i still have to make. Because i still don’t follow it :] .
I managed to make everything module based. I also started working on the application dock for the app icons. I have a working modular system, now i only need to create/finish each module. Originally i wanted to be able to minimize windows. However i didn’t get it quite working like i wanted to… now i removed it :| and only full screen and quit are implemented.
Working on the WebOs mission. Started making a module based design for easy development like the Sway Desktop environment and already did very basic design work. I still have to figure out how to use z-indexing for windows layering. I am trying to make everything from scratch myself. At the end my goal is to be able to switch every module out with ease. A bit like: want an animated background? just ‘install that application’
