RetroTabs 3rd and final devlog before second ship! I love this projcet it has been super fun trying to replicate that microsoft 97 look while also allowing the 2026 clean version to exist. This was mostly css but obvioulsy we got the glass mode and dark mode in there too which required some html and js. VERY simular to my DexterOS project for the code on the styles and js and html which allowed me to go way faster this time around.

Retro tabs devlog 2––Updated formatting with up and down to improve customization. Very simple up down feature then index in java script to allow for easy controls. Not much else next i got to center and add more css.

and a whole lot of js later i present Doom!
retro tabs now features a very simple first person shooter to take you back to 97 as promised! features
health percentage
ammo and
demons to kill.

Major css and styling reforms coming soon that are much needed. Not like to get rid of the 97 feel but to perfect it.

“Dexlog” 10 2.0.0!!!!
Going to ship after this devlog. This update was: finished glass mode, two small bugs, added harrys photo to the code app

one was a black backround behind the slides on settings apps but its just because i accidentally moved the div out of the app content class. Then i messed it up again only moving one app to the app content which is also photoed. Eventually i figured it out.

next bug was the harrys code phot not centering in the app so i added padding.
glass mode was alot easier then i anticipated so thats cool. just a bit of js html and css all around the board. transparent backround and stuff.

“Dexlog” 9 1.7.5 Added about creator page and a welcome screen. Welcome screen only shows first time you open the website otherwise it can be opened in settings. This is also where you find about creator. I did the same design of slides but no box because it didnt feel right. I wanted the smile slide reference so i put it on the welcome page thing. Little fun easter egg. Tonight ill do the glass apps then I beleive it should be time to ship 2.0!

“Dexlog” 7 - 1.6.0

Calculator update. Not much to say here just plain old math sweet math. TONS of java script why oh why. Also forgive my 67 joke on the calculator. Just had to prove it worked. Next up: the dreaded calendar.

Side note:I dont really like the layout of the numbers and operators on my calculator so i will change that in the future unless someone says somthing else in a review or comment.

Have a good one.

“Dexlog” 6 - 1.5.0

Finished the photos app allowing users to upload photos and look at some cool nature ones Ive preuploaded. You can scroll through your photos too.

Also updated weather app to just be plain old weather app that takes your location and does it off that instead of bay harbor :.(.

Next up is calculator and calendar. Peace.

“Dexlog” 5 - 1.4.5
I started a calculator calendar and photos apps but one major problem too many apps for the bar :.) anyway had to switch it to only top and bottom avalible which im not too pleased with unfortunately. I feel like the top app bar is very ugly but maybe thats just because im so used to the bottom app bar.

I had to deal with two bugs. The first is in the pictures where i had to make some js for the title bar to switch down including editing css and changing tags on html.

Then a simpler easier bug was the title bar appearing as white. It was a very simple overlook of forgetting to change the tags in css after changing them in html. I got mad at myself for that one.

Anyways thats it for now next up will be finishing those apps i mentioned earlier.

“Dexlog” 4-1.4.0
NOTE:photos are photoshoped half and half not actually half and half in dexteros.*******
Added more characters for the background as well as the color photo. This makes the ultamate customization experince. I figured if there was a black and white photo might as well just put the original version on there. Same logic applied to adding more characters. Why settle at just dexter when you can have Rita

Hopefully you guys like the new mode as much as I do looking forward to some more upgrades soon. Peace.

“Dexlog” 3-1.3.0 DELETED DARK MODE! Added multiple themes instead. Blue Green Red Black White All of which controled in the new customization app. Arrows to navigate and it automatically adapts to what theme you have up on the customization. Also fixed the bar height in like 10 seconds just needed a simple css fix to 76px so thats dope. Next update look for black and white mode so you can see dexter how he currently is or in color as well as the app icons. Maybe harder than previous updates well see.
