Komi OS devlog 1

Gonna preface this by saying I really should’ve made more devlogs to split this up more because now I’m going to have to try and remember everything that I did, so here goes. I followed most of the guide initially just to get a similar setup working, but from the beginning I knew there were some fundamental things I wanted to change about the project like making windows use classes/OOP so that I can have multiple of them and easily interact with specific windows and another thing I wanted to change was just having some cleaner/nicer ways of doing things since I noticed the guide was kept relatively simple for absolute beginners. Anyway, once I had gotten as much as I wanted from the guide, I split off and started making the project fully my own. Windows being fully (I believe fully, altho I still have to do some cleanup) converted to using classes along with the ability to have multiple windows of the same app open is really the big main obvious one, however I have made so many tiny changes that don’t show visually which you’ll notice a lot more while you’re using and interacting with it, like adding mini app icons on window headers, changing the z-index ordering so it doesn’t infinitely go up, creating my own selection code for icons on the desktop including them requiring a double click to open, making some text/images non-selectable just like real operating systems and so many more little tweaks that really make it super intuitive to use. Currently I’m stuck on something trivial, I’m trying to decide between two images to use as the operating system’s “image” but I’m just going to set that aside for now, so instead next I think I will be working on adding either a music player or a settings menu that will allow me to change out the wallpaper, and maybe also save/remember anything you do on the operating system. Or I may leave that to WebOS 2 and just work on getting a nice base WebOS 1 page working by customising the operating system more to make it more unique. Either way I guess we’ll see. Sorry if you had to read this entire devlog I understand it’s a lot, so thank you very much.
