The moment you have all been waiting for has finally arrived!
After a lot of procrastination and a few hours coding NDF-UI is here!
Lets do this!
Features:Spoiler
- File Manager (Made by [member='BigSHinyToys'])
- Changeable Wallpapers
- Drag-able windows (Apps//About)
- Up to 10 drag-able icons(coming soon)
- Fully customize-able login screen(coming soon)
- Speeder(game)
- Numines(Exclusive game made by [member='nitrogenfingers'] for NDF UI)
- Easy to modify config file(access to it from the right click context menu)
- Custom Linux styled boot loader with boot flags (currently only "-v" works)
- Dynamic update notifications
- Rednet/Modem connection status(coming soon)
Too much to list right now…
Stay tuned.
Screenshots: Coming Soon "Broken Images"Spoiler
Boot Loader:
Spoiler
Click here to go to the boot loader topic
Spoiler
Credit where credit is due:
[member='TheOriginalBIT'] - Screensaver API (coming soon)
[member='nitrogenfingers'] - nPaintPro, gameutils and Numines
[member='BigSHinyToys'] - File Browser
[member='Grim Reaper'] - NoteTaker
[member='Gravityscore'] - Firewolf and LightShot
[member='remiX'] - ccYouTube
Download the code so far:
In game: pastebin get zMiTadxW install
Disclaimer:Spoiler
This is still in Alpha stages and is due to be debugged fully, this is not the finished work and all elements may be subject to change at a later stage.
All code for the UI and the bootloader is done by me with help from some people for certain functions (credited accordingly in the code).
I take no credit for the programs listed above that have been included in this UI and thus if any of them are bugged and/or not working I cannot fix them.Since the screenshots are broken have a video instead:
Leave me some ideas of future things to add down below or message me.

NDFJay, I've always been a fan of your OSes but one thing I have to say, my friend made an API that would make the GUIs alot easier to make. If you want me to I can ask him if you can use it. It would probably cut down your time alot so you could work more on the functionality then the GUI

I like making the UI's myself, its the one part that I can make truley my own, writing code for functionality is universal and 90% of people will write the same code to do a task but making the UI now thats something I can make truly my own so thanks for the offer but im going to decline it, its the one things I'm actually great at lol

Glad to see this released. I've been eagerly waiting its arrival. I must say I love everything about it. The UI's are very nice (As always with anything you make :P/>). The code is nice, clean, and compact. No unneeded sleep function calls. Very good job ^_^/>

Why thank you ^_^/>
I don't think I used any sleep function calls in this lol well apart from in the installer but only activates when it finds a pre existing startup file to tell you one has been found and renamed rather than removing it ^_^/>

Finally! You'd said this'd take 2 weeks in the old NDF-OS thread! :P/>
Love it, looks fantastic! Just don't make a video on how to make it (jks) :P/> Last time, the forums were flooded with identical OS with minor color changes :P/>

Can the boot loader be disabled entirely? Also, will cloud storage be re-added? (Use SQL) Very, very nice!

SQL injection is a risk unless done properly.

at the moment the bootloader is needed to pass certain functions to the startup script and to run the startup script, it could be disabled if you were to make your own but that bypasses certain scripts which could make it bug out.
also I am planning to add Cloud storage back in at some point

yes it is, and thats why im weary when it comes to adding in the cloud storage

Ahh, well in that case….. If the SQL is sanitised correctly then even ALL wouldn't be able to do anything… however he would just exploit one of the several other 3rd party software or server architecture's gaping security holes and get through…

Back on topic: I can't wait for Rednet/Modem statuses ^_^/> This will be very useful.
Plans for that are as follows
- Wifi connection strength/ wireless range (1 to 3 bars depending on range from the server/connected peripheral)
- SSID + WEP style server/peripheral connection(assign a server/peripheral with an SSID and a Password that the UI will use for authentication)
- Once connected will display detailed connection stats such as distance, strength, connected users/network(if allowed by the server/peripheral)
- Will automatically be assigned a channel to send/receive information on(assigned by the connected server/peripheral)
And a few other features, these are just a starting point which once its debugged I think I might release as an API/program on its own

Nice OS. However I see two issues with it.. The first one is not having the ability to replace the complicated bootloader with a "silent" one. The second one is that one of the programs (CcYoutube) is bugged and its server will not take any new uploads (It says "PASTEID ERROR" or something like that)

That program is not made by him, you are best to report that one to remiX, since he is the author of ccYouTube.

Add CCSkype and would that work worldwide, not just the server your on

Any chance you could add support for
LuaIDE? I think this would be really nice in a graphical OS.
I also miss a good terminal program, something that will show the normal shell in a window.
In general, it would be nice if one could add own programs to the launcher.

I'm just guessing, that it's because you have HTTP disabled.

Sorry I havent been replying to this thread, I've not had a computer recently.
The reason its not downloading is because my webserver is down, my host messed up my order so I'm having to get that sorted out, I'll post an alert when the server is back up so you can continue downloading the UI

local sExample = http.get("exampl.com") --Get contents of page
write(sExample.readAll()) --Read and print contents of page
sExample.close() --Just in case
Or if you Want the end result be a file, then try this
function WriteToFile(path, text)
local file = assert(io.open(path, "w"))
file:write(text)
file:close()
end
local file = http.get("URL-TO-FILE")
WriteToFile("NEW FILE NAME", file.readAll())
file.close()

Because my UI has more than 1 file, in fact it has quite a few and downloading them all from my personal webserver is faster and easier and lets me make auto updaters and installers without the pastebin conformation after each file taking up the screen.
My webserver is back up now so I'll be uploading the files to it today

Fair enough :D/>
EDIT: Also, your OS is slightly broken. The Settings menu won't work, the context menu doesn't work either and some other features don't work either. Shutdown/Reboot/CraftOS works and so does your NDF Boot. Some other features are broken as well.
Just thought I'd let you know.

I will enlighten you
My previous project NDF-OS featured things like cloud storage which I was emplimenting and just before I removed that feature due to security holes someone dumped the SQL which had the userdetails hashed in it, and to prove that there were security holes used my account to log into here and mess up my profile/forum topic.
Not sure whats being said about NDF-OS now but last time I checked it was a "What not to do/This could happen to you if…" sort of guidline.
I learnt from that and decided to start again with NDF-UI which has no plans for cloud storage or any other online login, not yet anyway.
Hope you feel enlightened.
