take a screenshot and upload it to an image hosting service of your choice (such as imgur)
edit the post and you will see on the tool bar a little button that looks like an image… click it and follow the instructions.

here it is

cool…. ( see what I did there? :P/> )

Its good to see that you haven't followed and/or directly followed tutorials like most others…
Can I suggest that you change the colour of "[start]" to white, will make it easier to see on the dark blue :)/>

that doesn't look good original it was white

What about light blue?

It looks great, by the way.

that may look good let's see

yeah that looks great

Wait shouldn't this be in General or (not many people like it in here though) Programs?
EDIT: 150 Post :P/>

It is a program, therefore it belongs in programs.

This is pretty sweet looking, good job ^_^/>

I hope you aren't referring to all the people that have been following my tutorial series :P/> haha I saw the massive clime in OS's that all look the same since then lol

Yeah.. I'm guessing he is referring to that.. Nice tutorial btw :P/>

Main Post: The only problem I have with this OS is all the white space in the background. Make file icons or something of the sorts. Other than that, pretty nice.

I am indeed referring to that. OSes have tripled since you made the tutorial and they all look like yours :P/> and they all come to Ask a Pro with a problem first :P/>
Good tutorial tho.

You're back! Yep, this is all your fault. :P/>

I haven't seen this OP in Ask A Pro, yet. So he obviously knows what he is doing, to an extent.

Yeah I sort of saw them triple and thats why I never completed the series haha, I dont know why they dont just ask me for help lol, a lot of other do haha

right enough of hijacking this thread, back on topic haha

Worst idea ever! Should have just finished the series so at least we would have complete / better OSes…

All I had left to do on the series was add a clock and make the control panel lol, you might hate me when I start the new one mwahahaha, im going all out using tables, arrays, a multitude of events, roaming profiles, dynamic timed changing desktop backgrounds, dragable icons, the whole lot :P/> prepare for an OS flooded ask a pro section of OS's all looking the same haha.

right serious now, back on topic, I feel bad lol

The day you start using arrays, is the day I stop helping.

when i use this i get the error:
paintutils:92:attempt to get length of nil.

i like using arrays a LOT, i use arrays in (almost) every script, so if you need some help with arrays, i could help if you want to.

No, no you don't… You use Tables, not Arrays, there is a difference. Thank you for the offer to help but I use tables several times in each and everyone of my programs and apis, and have extensive knowledge and use frequently list data structures in my everyday life.
The purpose of what I stated was to be joking and meaning "NDFJay if you are going to start using arrays in a language that doesn't have arrays, I will stop helping.".

haha ToB we could of played it off and seen how far it could go :P/> then again maybe that wouldnt of been the nicest thing to do lol

OT:
if you say that arrays and tables arent the same, what is the difference between an array and a table?

Arrays | Tables
Basically if we were comparing Tables to a data structure in Java, you can think of it as a List and Dictionary implemented through use of a HashMap. An array is only index/value, tables can be index/value and key/value.

No. Stop making silly made-up distinctions. Tables are arrays. Lua 5.1 Reference Manual:

The type table implements associative arrays, that is, arrays that can be indexed not only with numbers, but with any value (except nil).

Tables *can be arrays. They aren't just arrays, but dictionaries, and lua provides utiliies that allow array-like behavior.

No, tables are arrays. They are a subset known as associative arrays.

Either way though, we're arguing over a relatively silly distinction, but the point that I wanted to make is that it's not acceptable to try to troll other members (especially newer or less experienced members) with silly distinctions between arrays and tables. This isn't middle school, guys. The post about "No, you don't use arrays, you use tables!" earlier in the thread comes across like some sixth grader that just got someone to say "Under where?" and is now being a jackass about it. Essentially, I don't care whether or not you agree with the definition of array or whether Lua's tables are or aren't arrays. I just don't want to see that kind of thing being done to newer members. That is not what this community is about.
