とあるOS [ToAruOS] ~ A Learning Project

[nbdd0121]

Does your idea of naming it as "とあるOS" come from とある科学の超電磁砲 (or とある魔术の禁书目録)? And I also saw "ういはる ", I wondered if it means "初春飾利".

P.S. [とある魔术の禁书目録-エンデュミオンの奇跡-] seems great.

No SMP yet

It was partially inspired by 超電磁砲, but also from the trend of giving software projects really generic names. I gave some of the earlier releases nicknames from characters. I had trouble reading your post because you used some Chinese characters that don't match the Japanese versions...

Sorry, that may because my windows was under Chinese environment... I just fixed it.

I should update this thread more. Let's post some screenshots!

I've spent the past month or so working on a new compositor to replace my old one, which I already announced over in the screenshots thread.

One of the notable changes to とあるOS's appearance is the new panel window list:



Even has hover highlights!

I also just finished up a simple notification/toast system:



And here's a video.

I'm probably going to spend the next month or two working on my widget toolkit, which needs a major overhaul from a functionality perspective.

One of the notable changes to とあるOS's appearance is the new panel window list:

That was needed, i still can't imagine life without a Window list panel.
Maybe add support for moving that panel up/down/left/right? And does it support resizing/maximising/minimising windows? idk how difficult would that be. Keep up the good work though! (/me hopes that no "so-called" nerds will watch the demonstration and starting complimenting [strike-through]"GNU"[/strike-through]/Linux)

It supports resize, with a box (old screenshot):


Even works on rotated windows:

Since when were rotated windows a standard GUI feature? Looks cool !

Also, isn't this the same as PonyOS? (Or is PonyOS just an English name for this?)

PonyOS is a joke release I put out every year on April 1st.

A few days ago, I was working on "toast notifications". I made some tweaks to the theme yesterday:

[onlyonemac]

By "joke release", do you mean that PonyOS is actually non-functioning?

Just asking before I try another time to get it working in QEMU.

Totally functioning, but it's just a reskin of とあるOS.

I'm still working on some of the details, but my panel can now show icons and knows which window is focused:



The icons are communicated as identifiers like "utilities-terminal". The panel will first check a cache, and then check a couple of locations for matching icons. If it doesn't find a match, it falls back on a generic icon.

I should mention I have a new video demoing the current state of the panel:

Best viewed at its native resolution (1280x720).

The tags embed a flash applet, it might be better to just link to your video.

Indeed it does. I shall file a request that it be modernized and edit my post.

Just finished up some quick window management work to add alt+tab.

I didn't want to juggle keys to capture screenshots, so instead here's some stills from a video:





And of course the video itself.
