Looks nice, going to try tomorow

I guess I reached to max limit of pastes on pastebin today.
IIRC pastebin does not limit number of edits for existing pastes

I got a error saying max limits reached, but I fixed it now. Everything is now on pastebin.

Before reading the source code:
  • Apps: The menu opens under that top-bar-thingie. While that's not a problem, the gap between the bar and the menu is slightly annoying. But that's just my taste. That's a working Apps menu alright.
  • Exit: I accidentally tested this one. I was a bit surprised when I found myself in the top level shell once again. If you click on Exit, it immediately exits the OS. No prompt, no further menus. Just an area on the screen which if you click on, breaks the program.
  • Options
    • Currently only one entry: Lock. May I ask what's the point of locking a computer if
      • A hacker only has to restart the computer, since Kruss doesn't install itself as a startup script
      • If it did, it wouldn't stay in Lock mode
  • Kruss: Yeah, I was desperately clicking the Kruss title in the top-right corner. I thought it was CCEmu acting up, but nah; turns out the Kruss title isn't a button at all. Why on Earth is it there then?!
  • Desktop: Plain old grayness. Meh, you could display the version information there, not where system buttons tend to be. Show the user if they have HTTP API enabled, the computer ID and the computer label. Things like that.
After reading the source code:
  • I can't see the backup of the old os.pullEvent
  • At least you localize your variables - although running is never used outside of Os
  • The paths of the images and things like those are hardcoded - not very portable
  • I thought my glasses have gone wrong when I saw that the first function call goes to checkIfColor - then I looked at checkIfColor; right, everything starts from a function that checks if the computer is advanced or not; makes sense eh?
    • color is now a global variable, congratulations
  • Actually, all the functions you define are global variables
Thoughts about the Original Post
  • How would a shell become LuaIDE? LuaIDE is an IDE, a shell is a shell. Throw tomatoes at me, but I have no idea how would you make a shell out of an IDE. Or vice versa.
  • The screenshots are a bit outdates. I know, I know, alpha release and all that jazz.
  • Once again, I'd call this a Graphical Shell (if only I knew who invented phrase).
Yup, that was me again. It was my opinion, my taste, my dry sense of humor. I don't write this reviews because I'm a hater. I write them because I want to open the eyes of the ones who publish these OSes. I've had enough of this kind of OSes (Graphical Shells). It's your call - you can completely ignore this comment or you can report it if you want. I'm willing to help if you ask me, as I say at the end of every review I write. If you are reading this line and are about to press the Report button, read the whole comment again, knowing that I'm not here to hate but to help.

EDIT: I completely forgot the formatting…
