I am not updating this program anymore. You may modify it freely. If you have any questions about the source/multitasking I will try to answer them.
The good news is that I made a successor called Taskforce, basicly the same functionality, but with better code and color support!
Old post:
Simply press TAB to go to the next virtual terminal! (Look at the taskbar below the screen)
Well, there is nothing more to explain! Just download it.
Download Frames Beta 1.3
http://pastebin.com/gBDN9Axv
From Beta 1.2 to Beta 1.3
- Changed project name: it is now Frames instead of Windows
From Beta 1.1 to Beta 1.2:
- Made taskbar automaticly choose the right width
(More programs; smaller taskbar items)
- Fixed the 'edit' problem, because 'edit' uses negative x-pos
- Made a 'preloop' hook, which runs before starting the mainloop.
- Made the 'shared' variable: should be used for windows-things.
- Frames only updates screen when something in the GUI had changed
There must be at least 0.04 seconds between screen updates.
The 0.04 value is changable, and called the frame_limiter.
- Started with Frames update. Type 'update' to see if there is a new version
From Beta 1.0 to Beta 1.1:
- removed titlebar, for more application space
- code cleanup
- made newMod(..): see sourcecode for examples
- Made program loop really small by using Hooks at 4 point.
A special thanks to ardera who made this screen capture program.
Current Bugs:
The 'edit' program doesnt work with text with long lines. FIXED!
Upcoming features
- API for easy modifying of the program, and supporting multiple modifications (PRIORITY)
- Working taskbar
- Start-window, where you can launch a new window
Later
- API for a CRTL menu. With tasks like: Terminate, Freeze etc
- Catching error messages and displaying them
- Wireless access to a window via Rednet
- Virtual filesystem
- Sandboxing windows: By storing and restoring the global variables via G_[]
- Tray Icons with notifications
- Frames Update (via http, via rednet, and via floppy)
- A bunch of high-quality utilities
- FloppyComputer, window with /disk# as the highest-level folder.
