PowerOS
PowerOS has come back! A "small" and simple to use OS! PowerOS HPÜ (Home Premium) came with some new features! And less glitchy (except Advanced boot)

Spoiler

  • Added games folder with redirection inside
  • Added Shell

Help

If you get this screen:

http://prntscr.com/jcehi6

Then there is a system file missing. Like the kernel or the desktop.

they both need to be at
/.sys/

if they aren`t there search for them anywhere but they should be. If you found them move them back there and remove any newly installed programs

If you see this screen by using an Application then check if the kernel and desktop are on their place.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

If you want your program to ask for Admin rights (May be glitchy) then enter following:


Admin.Ask()

if Admin.continue == true then
  -- Your code
elseif Admin.cancel == false then
  -- Your code
end

App Store
Spoiler

Get it here:
pastebin get a1EnqPU2

Submit Apps
To submit an app send me following per dm:
  • App Name
  • App Description (short)
  • App Banner 14x7
  • App Type (Game or Program)
  • Last but not least the Script
All Apps will be checked if it harms the computer/os


Please If you make yor own program for PowerOS then it would be good if you make it install all files into the programfiles folder.

Thanks.

I can`t fix all underlines.. sorry..

I used the explorer application, and the OS seems to not return to desktop after I close the application.
Also, why a 9 second sleep on boot?

The 9 seconds sleep… yes forgot to change it..

So and that the explorer doesn`t returns to the desktop… hmm… I don`t know.. but thanks in the next edition it will be fixed ;)/>

Looks pretty good. Still to look at the code. But,
  • Please remove the 9-second wait on startup (as Nothy stated above)
  • The desktop goes black after closing an app (explorer and IDE) until the Menu button is clicked
  • If an app won't do anything, just remove it.
Edit: Looked at codebase. Not to bad at all.

Otherwise, it's a great start!

Your last screenshot shows an unstable OS that easily errors and then does not give the error's line number.

Read the Help section. Most of the time __KERNEL_PANIC__ happens when the system files are moved or are missed.. it is like a Bsod there you don`t get any line number
