Hi,
This is my OS. I do not have a website yet, and I plan on rewriting the source, because it has become too buggy to add new stuff. This is my last release before the rewrite, and so I've decided to post my release (still an alpha). Hope you enjoy it, and please bear in mind it is my first attempt at an os. It has a "fake" GUI, no gfx, but colorful anyway. And I left out the login and shell I was planning to include because of the bugs I mentioned.

Known Bugs: The small bug of it saying 'OS-0.16' instead of 'OS-0.17' on the desktop

Use Home to open Menu and End to close it. up and down arrow keys select different items across menu. My OS has been tested by myself on a real PC, Bochs and VirtualBox.

Turned link into a link. Just added a http:// in front of it. Anyone tried it out yet? What d'ya think?

Looks cool, couldn't find any bugs with it. Good work

quite a cool GUI, but there aren't many features.

if a GUI is all you are interested in, i suggest you look at the code below:

if you implement the functions required you can set up a VGA mode, and start programming some real graphics, not just crappy text mode one

Thanks for the replies.

In the rewrite im working on adding more features and concentrating less on the GUI. Thanks for the link, lukem_95, but I still have to take time to decipher that code I may implement a real GUI instead of a textmode one after Ive finished the main kernel, or I may as well go and make an X Window manager
