[WIP] Oblox OS [Alpha]

So in my free time I have been working on a new ui/os that is planned to have working windows* (Added) and multitasking**, it's currently not much, but it should be updated constantly***.

-Upcoming features-

• online tools
• appstore
• better window support using window API (In next version)
• bug fixes
• working settings (In next version)
• bcrypt encryption instead of SHA-256
• and more!

NOTE: Passwords are hashed but they use a highly insecure hashing method (SHA256). There are website that you can paste in the hash and they will give you the password (or whatever) almost instantly. When I have the chance I will upgrade to bcrypt (the current hashing method that's used by many websites including twitter)

-Screenshots-

Alpha Screenshots (Current Release)

Release Screenshots (Still in development, un-released)

-How to install-

-Updates-
0.0.1: First Released
0.0.2: Updated login UI
0.0.3: Program window can now be dragged and the red X button now works (program and settings window only)
0.0.4: Added task manager, Added bug that combine windows when overlapping, started implementing multitasking, broke settings window
0.0.5: Re-implemented settings window (now drag-able), moved start menu to bottom and changed start background to green, and more!
0.0.6: Added icons (drag-able, but they don't open anything yet)
0.0.7: Icons can now open programs, icons can now only be dragged with "+", bug fixes, added more bugs, only 1 thing can be dragged at a time (no longer picks up other things when dragging)

1.0 New Features (Un-released)

• Selective Multitasking (Programs only update when focused on (like windows where you can't type into a window when not selected))

When you enter invalid credentials the login screen gets replaced by a white screen.
Might be a bug, I don't know.

The login UI has been redone.

Quick question, how do you like the new start menu coloring and task bar positioning? Also what should I add next? [Desktop icons, file browser, working settings, program API, or other]

2 BUGS: Icons don't work for me, and I can terminate the login screen. To fix the terminating issue all you've got to do is, add this at the beginning of your code: os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw.
I have an idea, for you. Create a github, so the community can examine and find issues.
Overall, it's pretty cool, but also really glitchy. I like what you're doing, and you should keep going!
EDIT: Checking your code was a breeze! It's very well labeled. Good job there!

The bugs should be fixed, try reinstalling the os/ui.

Off topic: You're safe. If you just changed the "l" to an "n" and…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3TXeh_t23o so that means you're safe! XD

Anyways, I tried out the OS and I liked it a lot.

If anyone's wondering where this is going, here's a screenshot of the upcoming version (half rewrite).

Are these buttons using these mini-pixels?

Looks to me like they're simply using character 7.

Character 7?

There are some extra characters included with computercraft (http://www.computercraft.info/forums2/index.php?/topic/26897-ccemuredux-character-sheet/page__hl__%2Bsupported+%2Bcharacters__fromsearch__1). To use these you can just do something like:

string.char(7)

Working to add notifications and active windows now appear above other windows.

Is that a terminal I see?

And no, I did not forget about settings.

Looks quite nice, I like the implementation of "hidden" characters like Char 7, gives it almost a OSX look (Mac).
I'm assuming Windows are Touch and Drag compatible?

Notifications is something I haven't seen in a CC OS, and I'm not really sure what you could use it for apart from:

- Registering Disk insertion/removal in a Disk Drive
- Redstone input/output on certain sides
- Rednet broadcasts/messages

…Actually there is a fair amount of potential there just saying those examples. The possibilities…I gotta try this now :P/>

It seems to me the hardest thing to do with this is creating a Touch and Drag window for the Terminal. That's always caught me off guard as to how people do it. I am assuming it is using some kind of coroutines, even if it's from the Windows/Background processing API/s.

All in all a fine piece of work.

Keep in mind that you need to only let the focused window actually get the keyboard input for example.

Touch support as in mouse clicks?
For that you need to calculate where the window is and subtract the coordinate from the coordinates where you clicked on the screen (as you still get "real" coordinates when clicking) and THEN pass it over so that the window "thinks" that you clicked somewhere inside it. (E.g. the window begins at 9/9, you clicked on 10/10 so you subtract the beginning from the click (10 - 9 / 10 - 9), add 1 (1+1 / 1+1; cuz you miss a pixel without it) and then pass it over to the coroutine of the focused window.)
Also something you CAN do is NOT passing the mouse event to the coroutine if you clicked outside of the window (to prevent negative or too big coordinates for the window)


(Yeah every window gets a coroutine)

Pretty good, just your official version, your drag of icons is a bit buggy (you cannot move sometimes them (yeah i drag the '+')) and if i add manually a new icon, it doesn't displayed.

Looks really nice so far.

Oh yeah I thought you would completely pause the un-focused programs :P/>

It can display KrapFile properly? Well, it's got Monc2 beat.

"NOTE: Passwords are hashed but they use a highly insecure hashing method (SHA256)."

Or you could just salt your passwords? Either that or have the users not use shitty passwords because those sites just use rainbow tables to crack passwords.

There will always be a rainbow table entry for the password "ASDF" but not for "x fgjklhjkl jdkx bgvaiuhjszghikouvyhszbhty ijuvszg nybiuvh"

Maybe make the selective multitasking a toggle feature, as it would be quite useful for things like Rednet/Redstone updates.

EDIT: After trying it now I realise it is just looks. Most of the buttons are just there for show (e.g Drag, Minimise and Close) are mainly for show and SOMETIMES work depending on the box (or just X and Y mouse value bugs).

Very nice looking OS…lots of bugs.

Drag and close should work in the Alpha version (if not try a couple times, it should work). In the upcoming release 1.0 minimize also is functional

This is going very well! Cool design you have made here!

There is a bug that after running the installer you can't quit it the window buttons don't work.

Started work on the store (uses dannysmc95's API)

If you're going to implement a store, but not implement Danny's social net API, you could instead implement STD and use the Discover Store instead.

If you are going to use more Discover-specific things, then carry on.

ObloxCC, on 04 February 2017 - 09:37 PM said:

If anyone's wondering where this is going, here's a screenshot of the upcoming version (half rewrite).

I think that the panel [linux speak for task bar] should also be dark grey to match the window borders. The notification centre [guessing that's the name] can be white to add that little bit of extra detail / contrast.

I think this the most OS like creation so far in terms of how an actual os looks/functions. I'd love to see where this is going.

So you went from a Windows look to a Mac look? or do you have both at the same time?
Anyway will there be a way for programs to add their own menus?

You can change between the windows and mac theme. Programs can use the top bar if they use the program API, if they don't the menu (if the program has one) just displays in the window (if you are usung the windows theme the menu always displays in the window)

I know that you are probably busy with developing the various DE layouts and fixing bugs etc., but will it be possible to add a theme like the Budgie desktop from Solus OS [solus project]? An image of it here: https://solus-project.com//imgs//release-images/2017.04.18.0/Budgie.jpg [note that the raven sidebar isn't shown]
