Wow. Windows. It's simple and cool

Hey, may I use window to include in my 'multitasking' os?

Yes, because it is easier to make tabs or windows and to redraw them.

This is probably the best first-os I've seen! :D/>. I like the lyqydOS/MacOS design. The only thing that needs to be added is a desktop.

It indeed looks extremely good. And as said before, best first time OS!

Also, for the installer, use something like sheets or flare or bedrock, the code will be much shorter.

Also, in .magicOS/shell, where it says read and gives two arguments, add a third one, shell.complete

Oh my god, this is really good! This works really smoothly in CCEmuRedux! Good job, man.

But, upon opening the shell, 'startup' errors: 171: attempt to call nil
And it kinda flickers on the install menu
And it should have a dedicated function button (F1) for opening/closing the menu
And windows should maximize if they're dragged onto the top bar
And fullscreen windows should have the title+buttons on the menubar to save space

A few suggestions:
* Remove all of the sides around the windows (except for the title bar of course) because they look a little bulky.
* Add separate menus to the start menu (like program or game sections)
* Use GitHub for easy source control
* Add a paste bin installer
Other than these suggestions, the os looks good.

Upon startup, opens a window labeled "Login" with a black background, and red text "File not found". Clicking or pushing a button closes it, leaving me no option but to reboot or shutdown. Might want to get that checked.

Sorry, but I can't reproduce the error. Did you try a clean installation?
If the error is still there, can you send me a picture of the error?

I did try a clean installation, and this is what I got.

That's what appears at startup every time. Clicking or pressing a key closes the window.

The calendar has a bug where the day is two days-of-the-week off. (Today, November 22, is a Wednesday, but the calendar says that it's a Friday.)

This is not a bug. For the real calender, click in the sidemenu on "Real".
