Making some programs for my OS!



Now I just need a way to open them from within the OS

Looks beautiful. Your list of files and the bar underneath "New folder" somehow remind me of Windows 7. Is there a disk image, source code repo, or website for us to take a look?

Just make another program! :​P

No, seriously, in pretty much every modern OS the shell (desktop or whatever) is basically just the program it loads by default. And since you have a file manager it means you probably already have what's needed to make a basic desktop (heck, the desktop on Windows is just a glorified fullscreen instance of the file manager showing a rather specific folder).

Hi, the code can be found here: https://github.com/nakst/essence
And yeah, I use Windows 7 as a reference for the visual style

You should put the link to your repo in your signature so people who see any future posts know where to find your OS

Continuing to backport functionality and design elements from Python desktop environment, as well as pushing out a lot of little improvements behind the scenes.

Wow, after a long long long break I am finally getting somewhere.
I know this might not be as exciting as some of your fancy GUI stuff, but hey FAT 32 Stage 2 loaded for the first time!

Solar OS, Romanian OS written fully in ASM (sol_asm)
The x64 version is in development now:

That GUI is back 0.0 (I honestly like it more than a lot of modern stuff, shame that font doesn't fare that well when you try to make larger versions...)

Random stupid nitpick (also relevant back then, but I wasn't around the forum at the time :v), but could those transparent windows be less transparent? (e.g. 75% alpha instead of 50% alpha) Just to make text easier to read when it's on top of busy parts of the screen.

that's truely f&cking awesome, bogdan! I am so jealous. but also looking at such achievements is inspiring.
I like how reliefness is done. perfect as for my eye of a Win classic theme all time lover. ^_^

Thank you guys for your nice words

Sure I can make the alpha less than 50 %
(I will add an option)

And there is a bigger font in there somewhere also

I like the GUI as it is
But I am open to suggestions and I will add more options to make it skinable or have a "modern" look if the user wants it.

Here is a window / clock with a slightly bigger font.

Glad your OS isn't dead, Bogdan!
I stopped mine because of lack of time, but I continue sometimes to visit the forums

Hello, f2! Tell me please, where can I download images of your operating systems and assembler? I really liked your screenshots and I would like to see and try how they work.

There is currently no way to download images of my OS and my assembler, and I don't plan to make them available again.
The latest builds did not have the fancy GUI of the earlier releases. Also, they were unusable because I did not finished my UEFI bootloader. So I don't know if you would be interested to try the OS as it is, except if you like to see an "Hello, world !" on the screen At least, the assembler was working very well.
