Download:

in-game:

pastebin get tdSBVBvn frames

or get it here: http://pastebin.com/tdSBVBvn

Mod Developers:

when you make a mod every single line thats not in a function will get executed when the os starts, BE AWARE
you want to add your mod to the modlist:
 newMod( sName, sVersion, sDeveloper, fOnload )

the letter s stands for sting and the letter f stands for function
basicly here is an example:

newMod("Default Mods","v1","Frames", function()
the stuff that needs to happen hen the mod loads
end )
you can add extra commands to the start menu by doing the following:

newCommand( sLabel, fOncall )
if you want to open a new window do the following:

focus = newWindow( fOnload )
--opens a new window on foreground and executes the code in the window
--the window will close when the code is done running
newWindow( fOnload ) --opens a new window at background and does the same as the previous one

please leave a comment with what you think :D/>/>

I prefer this as one of standard APIs.
Not started as default but always ready to use.
Where is video?

Sorry, I'm not interested in any new OS. Especially if it will do many things I do not want.
You bump this thread several times - seems you cannot develop it without Jan.
This means this thread effectively dead. Sorry :D/>/>

if you make an github account i will add you to the people that have rights to make changes. so you can do stuff too. but before that i want to know a little bit of your programming knowledge. because its a complicated system!

For those who use tekkit, can your BlueFrames detect if it is loaded into a compatible ComputerCraft Computer?
And can it give a notice if this is not the case?

EDIT: Like check if a function exists (which is added after a certain version) and base on the reply (nil or true/false) gives a notice to inform you that BlueFrames won't run or (what would be nice) use workarounds to gives some functionality.
