TDeskV Beta 1
TDeskV is a graphical shell for ComputerCraft's CraftOS. It allows you to run programs from a simple to use menu and return to the graphical desktop after running your program.
Screenshots
Downloads
TDeskV requires a .background file and an icon file to start. You can make your own in the default Paint program.
Beta 1:
Run "pastebin get FWyPs6bU startgui" at the command prompt without the quotes and after that type in "startgui" without the quotes to run TDeskV.
Suggestions
If you have a great idea or a great program to link in the TDeskV Menu, feel free to suggest it. Report any bugs you find so I can try and fix them.
Do not suggest these, they are being added:
Login System when you start TDeskV - This will be in Beta 2.
A Run dialog - This will be in Beta 2.
Multitasking - Will be in a non-Beta release, maybe when CC 1.6 comes out.
Icon Customisation - I have tried to add this, but I can't think of a good way to do it so this is postponed for a later release.
Nicer Looking TDeskV Menu - Due to the limitations of ComputerCraft, this is very hard.
Themes - These will either be in Beta 2, Beta 3 or 1.0.
Background Pack - This may come later, but you will have to manually pick one.
Known Bugs:
If you try and take a screenshot while the right click menu is up, TDeskV will crash.
Features for Beta 2
Beta 2 will definitely have a login system that may have settings for each user. It may have a GUI or it may be text-based.
Beta 2 will also definitely have a Run dialog so programs don't have to be linked to the TDeskV Menu.
Beta 2 may have Themes, but they will be very limited.
Beta 2 may have an Anti-Virus feature which you can download if you want it.
Features in Beta 1
A graphical user interface with a menu to launch programs.
A right click menu to run the text editor and edit the background.
Run your internet client from the TDeskV Menu. (Rename it to internet so TDeskV recognises it.)
A simple design that looks like Windows.
