Does it have multi-tasking or sandboxing?

The UI looks really cool, but shadows are mis-placed:
(X-normal, S-shadow)
Window selecting menu icon:
XXXXXS
XXXXXS
XXXXXS
XXXXXS
SSSSSS
IT SHOULD BE:
XXXXX
XXXXXS
XXXXXS
XXXXXS
SSSSS
same for the icon at the top left when on the left side bar.

if os.getComputerlabel==nil then
os.setComputerLabel("Glass UI")
end
on line 132 of .system/main.sys should be
if os.getComputerLabel() == nil then
os.setComputerLabel("Glass UI")
end
Also, set a variable for your version number, it's much less messy when you update that way.

Edit: When I changed os.getComputerLabel to os.getComputerLabel(),it errored attempt to call nil,I think that's the reason why I didn't do that.

EDIT: Right now,the only way to change the background is to create a new image and editing Users/username/config/wall.cfg. The first line is the background,the second line is the logo. I'm going to add a better way to create themes.

Notes:Updates are made almost instantly after receiving an error message,so be sure to reboot if you find an error.
I seem to be running out of ideas… Any suggestions?

Yeah I know,it's a
bit too Google-y :P/> . Altough they look similar,the 'G' is actually from a font I downloaded online,I only realized just now that it looks similar to the Google's new logo.

That was because originally it was going to be an API,and APIs require "_G." for variables to be global. Thanks for pointing that out,I'll remove that.

Only if you load them with the default os.loadAPI, which runs the code in a special environment. (Not sure but i think its an empty table with a __index set to _G)

Hide the password when you set it initially, and add a confirmation box to make sure the user enters it correctly. MUCH better than simply showing it. Almost showed a bunch of people me password lol…

i found a bug, if you make a theme picture then delete it with lattice, it will make an error everytime you try to login or open the sidebar.
another bug is you can terminate the program right at the startup, with easy access to the shell.

Thanks! That's going to be fixed in 1.3,which will be released sometime today or tomorrow.

That was done on purpose so that I can test programs without having to delete Glass UI. It will be enabled once Glass UI reaches ALPHA or BETA.
EDIT: I haven't noticed this until now.. 5 five star votes for this extremely buggy,messy and poorly coded "OS" :D/>
EDIT2: Glass UI 1.3 has been released! Run
pastebin run A7DqSAfN
to install.
NOTE: Since this is a new release,it's very unpolished and contains many bugs,please send any bugs using the "send" button or by leaving a post on the forums(with an explanation of what you think caused the bug
eg. "I clicked on the sidebar and it said attempt to call nil")
Note2: To drag icons,right click the desktop and go into "edit mode". This will be changed in future updatesEdited on 20 October 2015 - 11:24 AM

If you try to add a pastebin program, and leave the image prompt blank/enter an invalid one, it errors with
paintutils:20:attempt to index? (a nil value)
In fact, if you do this, then it will crash on every time the icon is attempted to be viewed. I recommend a stock image, in case the program does not come with one.
Really nice so far otherwise! Everything looks nice and shiny!

Rewriting Glass UI… again. Most of the bugs reported(in-game and the forums) will be fixed during the rewrite. If there's any suggestions(apart from multitasking,I'm working on that),the time is now.
EDIT: I'll focus more on basic multitasking(the long awaited "x" button for the app installer) and fixing the bugs. Right now I'm on holiday with a tablet and a dinasaur-age PC,so if there's any weird and random bugs,blame autocorrect :P/>.
EDIT2: Still kinda stuck on the coroutines part,I'll take a look at other multitasking OSs.

Hi there. I'm new to this forum so please excuse any errors (And grammatical errors)…
I don't know if you already know this but typing "back" or "home" while in CraftOs mode does not work unless in root directory (Is that what you guys/girls call it?). That can have something with the paths to do with :P/>…

Fixed "access denied" in app installer. I did that on mobile so it might have errors.
Ideas for 1.4:
- Very basic antivirus
- Glass Help(a bit like Cortana,Siri or Google Now)
- Better draggable icons
- Maybe .nft support for icons

Agreed with Creator. Sandboxing is better, but make it optional, I don't like forced sandboxing for every program.
Idea: make sandboxing with multitasking, so each thread will have their own files based on the name of the first program ever ran in the thread

Sandboxing is better, but make it optional, I don't like forced sandboxing for every program.
It will be optional for computer "administrators",basically the first person to register an account on the computer.
Idea: make sandboxing with multitasking, so each thread will have their own files based on the name of the first program ever ran in the thread
Multitasking won't be easy,so I'll get the less important stuff out of the way first. But thanks for the idea!
More info on 1.4Sandboxing(see above)
Glass Help: Shows info "cards" and allows you to type easy commands. For example : "send an email to example@example.com This is an example email"
Tweaking draggable icons: Removing the useless 'edit mode' and replacing it with right click dragging.
Possible .nft support : Possible support for more advanced icons using NitrogenFinger's .nft format

If you understand the multishell (rom/programs/advanced/multishell) you can rewrite it with your custom things. Just don't ctrl+c ctrl+v because it's copyright protected.
But this is the main idea what multishell and probably some other multitasking OSes use:
You have a table of processes (each process is a table, containing the thread, window where you can redirect the terminal, and other info like process name)
You just pull events and continue these threads (if it's a user input event only the focused, if it's not all of them) and check for dead coroutines etc.
The threads will yield because os.pullEvent calls os.pullEventRaw, which calls coroutine.yield.

This is not how to use pairs. The first returned value is the key and the second one the value itself.
for i,v in pairs(someTable) do
a = someTable[i]
b = v
--> b == a

No prob.
You can also use a packaging tool, as Compress, to distribute your OS. It will spare you the pain of changing each pastebin individually.

You'll be able to press a key to show your open apps and you can press a button to view the task manager. So no,it won't be tabbed multitasking mainly because of the limited screen space.

Features for 1.4Multitasking : 70% Completed
CCNow : 20% Completed
Other features: 5% Completed
Edit: That security leak was done on purpose so that I could access the files,it'll be removed after the Developer Preview,also the passwords are hashed(it isn't really the best way to secure passwords but It'll do for now) meaning that you can't view the passwords.

Glass UI 1.4 is coming soon!™ (probably later this/next week)
Also,1.4's code will be
open source,meaning that you'll be able to Glass UI's code and APIs in your OS's/creations. If,for whatever reason,you want to use some of 1.3's code,send me a PM.
And if you want me to design you a logo for your ComputerCraft program/OS send me a PM.

I just use
paint.net and a
drop shadow plugin for pictures,sometimes I use
Macromedia Fireworks(which is now owned by Adobe) for more complex stuff. For the trailer I'm going to use a very basic video editor,
AVS Video Editor, which I found on my dad's computer. The fonts I use are :
Quicksand,
Minecraftia and
Sifonn.

It was supposed to say "Ask me a question",but for some reason I put "search",altough there will be a command to search your files.
I'll try to add an option to remove animations in 1.4.
The sidebar animation is located in the drawSidebar() function,you'll need to modify the code a bit to remove the animation. If I have time I'll send you a no-animations version of 1.3

it's not neccessary to send a version without animations, i can change it, it's enough if you say where is drawSidebar() located

1.4 will be delayed to next week™ due to technical issues,sorry :(/>. Whilst you're waiting,here's a list of features and their progress:
- My website designed using the MDL framework and my basic understanding of HTML/CSS 20% <– Working on this one for now
- Multitasking 80%
- UI API(a.k.a the worst API you've ever seen) 60%
- Core API(to build your own OSs using Glass UI's core code) 70%
*Surprise* 40%
- Bug fixes and better draggable icons 20%
- Trailer 20%
- Glass UI itself 10%
TL;DR: Glass UI is about 40% finished. Also,1.4 isn't going to be *amazing*,it will hopefully be good but probably not as good as the major,stable releases.

CraftOS 2.0 has a lot of new functionality,which means that Silica OS will probably be the best CCOS. Also an OS can be judged by user… freindlyness? which means that graphics are very important. Imagine trying to use a 51x19px resolution OS without any knowledge about computers.

Well sure, but with a grounding of Nova and OneOS, there's bound to be plenty of functionality. The graphics just add an extra touch that will hopefully take it a step ahead of anything CC can do currently.

status update on GUI 1.4? things are getting tense.
Well,I've finished the core code and I'm working on the OS itself. I've got transparency working thanks to the Surface API(I'll post a screenshot later). Multitasking is pretty much finished,and I'll try to add more stuff to CCNow(right now it can only tell you the time and weather). The release date will hopefully be on Sunday but I've got quite a lot of homework.

So I did a bit of reading through the forums and stuffs and things, and:
1. I am thrilled for glass UI!
2. I am a bit worried about it too.
The second one is quite strange, but I am. The system is so great and has such potential, but CC2.0 is coming soon. Do you plan on converting the OS over? I'd hate to see a great project go to waste because of the update.
Also, maybe for later, it would be nice to see a way to merge files. For example, I want two programs to open on startup, but in order for that to happen, I have to merge the startup file.
Thank you so much for developing such a smooth OS, looking forward to more!

Also, maybe for later, it would be nice to see a way to merge files. For example, I want two programs to open on startup, but in order for that to happen, I have to merge the startup file.
Thank you so much for developing such a smooth OS, looking forward to more!
Thanks! :D/> And yes,I do plan on adding 2.0 compatibility. Also,by merging files,do you mean running both at once?
OK! phew! and yes running both at once is a valid way to put it. Like having a secondary operating system that has a startup program. So as a programmer wanting to merge them, I'd wait for a 'file already exists error' and then when that happens, I take the file that is having the error, put it in a temporary directory, read all the lines off of it, and then edit the initial startup program, putting in the lines below the primary OS. An optional thing to do could be to find variables that are the same with the first and second startup file, and change the second ones to a different unused error. But, the secondary seems quite complex, and I'm not sure how you'd get around to do that.

1. I am thrilled for glass UI!

Why not just make a runOnStartup folder? No need to combine files at all.

That would be a lot easier! :P/> I'm relatively new to lua/CC so excuse my noobiness.
And also,
As I was playing I noticed a bit of an inconvenience. The only way to open a program on a monitor is through craftOS. It would be really cool if you could add in an option when you right click on a file it offers a button you could press to run on a peripheral/monitor. Not sure if this is the right forum to comment about it, it probably would be better in the lattice forum.

That wouldn't work, then. The monitor program requires a side name as the first argument and the program path as the second argument.

Lyqyd's right,there needs to be way to type in the monitor's ID. All you need to do is add a separate option (on the right click menu) which,when clicked,asks for a monitor ID.

Still though, it would be convenient to just have a 'run on monitor' option rather than typing that all in. Also add in a print option, that would be very handy to have. But, it's understandable if you don't want that, as to keep the UI as clean as possible.

The main problem is that Lattice is discontinued because of CO 2.0 and I don't know if I'm going to make a version for CO 2.0 as I have other plans. For printing you can edit + print.

I've already heard of that,and it sounds great! But the only problem is that there isn't any good emulators for it yet(my Minecraft runs at ~10fps with mods)

Hmm.. That's weird,I'll take a look at that. In the meantime, edit your user.cfg (Users/<Your Name>/.config/user.cfg) and replace the icon path with 'Glass/UI/img/hills.ico'. Thanks for the bug report!

Just a little progress update for 1.4:
- Notification system : 90%
- Multitasking: 70%
- Core API : 50%
- Main OS : 30%
- CCNow : 30%
ETA: ~1 month?
Sorry for the HUGE delay,normally I would've had it finished it this week but Christmas got in the way. It's also because I keep coming up with new ideas(like the notification system)

Well,I've done the main code(loading icons,multitasking etc..),now all I need to do is fix the notification system and CCNow,and make a UI for the OS itself.

There is a bug when creating an icon for apps here's the error [Error while downloading file] and I cannot seem to install applicaions threw paste bin can you add basic icons and fix the icon creator

Thanks for the bug report! All those bugs will probably be fixed in 1.4(coming soon!),since the code will be a complete rewrite. I'll apply some patches to 1.3(the current version) if I have time.
