New OS

[Imagine Programming]

A friend of me and myself are busy with a OS, its virtual now, but we will boot it later. He just started using AMS7 and he did the design (i noticed it looked alot like vista so that'll change)

click for screeny {Screeny} (http://black.c-wolf.nl/screenshot/WindHoosIksPee.png)

Please tell what you all think :) with expertice of our team, and somebody who used to work for microsoft who is going to help. It will work!

By the way, The name will also deffinetly change!

This idea is 100% like Lisux and WinTex glad someone else as tooken the idea on 2 kool but i would like to know how you did the programs open bit at the bottem

Let's clear a few things up.


Maybe, me and rexzooly should never have announced our shells, We get barely any interest for so much work we put in and you're going to feel the very same thing when people say "Hey, that sounds like a good idea, i'm gonna do that now lolololol". 5 minutes later they release a bad photoshop of what they call their 'OS'
An OS is a built-up-from-the-ground thing, not a built-up-from-a-wysiwyg thing.
The design is very blocky, It needs work. Hopefully I'm not offending you but it's some constructive critisism. And the vista look is not the way to go, Trust me, I've done it before.
Is your project dynamic? Does it automatically know the resolution and adapt to it? Does the Time label change when the time does? All that stuff.


It's cool that everyone is 'borrowing' our ideas, But people have to put some effort into their projects before they announce it here.

Lisux had and still has many versions out today, It's dynamic from time to resolution, And I have'nt just shown an image, I've shown images, videos and even released it.

I suggest you post more media than 2 images.

Thanks,
ShadowUK

PS: If you need any help, I am experienced in this sort of thing.

PPS: This is a desktop replacement shell, not an OS.

[Vancete]

I had this idea long time ago too...
It's only the desktop,but i think that my design is better than yours,look:

But it's a nice idea,good luck with the project...
Greetings!:yes

[TimeSurfer]

umm ok...isn't that a shell.....i dont think a shell can be considered an os. Still not bad though...might spice up the gfx a bit =p.

[ShadowUK]

Yeah, I said that in my post as well. But to put it in lua terms ' shell ~= os '.

[TimeSurfer]

Nicely said Shadow, I would however like to know how you guys got around the project resizing issue. [Are you predefining the object positions?] I dont generally make programs with ams lol i spend 75% of time making useless dll's/plugin's and 25% making useful ones lol. But I ever decided to make a program would definately need resizing. [suppose i could search forum lol]

[Imagine Programming]

Yes the time changes, yes the even the tooltip on the time changes (the day of the week + date) and i know that the vista style must go:P

besides that, it modifies its size to screen resolution and its booted from Virtual Machine:) (for now)

i calculate the position and size of the taskbar, buttons windows everything... the stuff loads as quick as a bad windows machine but well, we need to solve that:P

Looks great, reminds me of Linux, but thats a shell, what we've got isn't ( some dude came to me and said, dude! i can make a kernell for yah... so well it only runs SOME lua applications and a bit PB built dll's, nothing more yet :)

I highly doubt this, Can we see some real media? Maybe a screenshot of the OS in the Virtual Machine. A picture that looks like it was made in AMS and Photoshop isn't exactly an OS..

Hey WinTexOS is a Shell Replacment with Custom Roots The OS Will not work
like Windows 100% some porgammers that call absult paths want work woth
WinTexOS But its still XP

WinTexOS i have given to people on here is a XP/Vista Shell like Shadow has said i also would like to see more media of these and WinTexOS as not died
just been put back a bit thanks to AVG going mad.

Me and Shadow have put in many hours and we have seen many people trying to copy the idea instad of trying to help others.

I would like to see what comes from this but i will still say Shadow so far is the best Shell so far as WinTexOS was based on lisux first build with full help
from Shadow and pormisson WinTexOS became something new from a rebuild and new coding but the idea was from lisux and Me and Shadow have put in
alot of work with one another getting these working and some have said nice
but then next mini we are getting PM's asking how to do it for people asking for the APZ's after we have said no also people have also send me there own
shell verson that a don't resize or work right with all rez's

I thank shadow for all his help with WinTexOS and hope he brings more
plugins out lol

But Yes please more info media and even demo but so far your app looks like
Lisux and WinTexOS.

[TristanD]

This is no Real os and i know :P Just a Badly made photoshop :P

I've started coding my own os about 1,5 years ago and it still isn't near completion :P (Runs Windows & Linux Core)

[RizlaUK]

sorry, but this is going to cause offence, but i still have to say it

i think you are all waisting your time and these projects bore the life outter me, MS put how many years work into vista and theres still loads of people that refuse to use it, what makes you think you can do a better job than the biggest software devloper on the planet and xp is buggy enough who would want to run a shell over the top of it.

these kind of projects are ok if they have a purpose, a office app, or like i did a child safe shell for xp, other than that, i see no point at all other than a learning experance,

now, a real bootable OS would impress me, but that is never going to happen in AMS (not without wrapping the whole c libary in a dll) but anything that uses the core of another OS in order to run is no OS and shouldent be called or compaired to one.

dont get me wrong, i applaud your efforts, i just dont see the point

[TristanD]

There is no point whatsoever exept... Gettings more programming skills and thats the only reason im doing the os

[RizlaUK]

well for that reason alone i consider it a worth while endeavor, i have made many *test* projects that took weeks just to see if i can do it, so like i say, i applaud the efforts

[TristanD]

Btw.. RizlaUk.. Got Msn?? ;)

[ShadowUK]

I knew this was AMS from step one. :p

[TristanD]

Me Too, i know CB Personally and no person who has trouble writing pb dll's can write an entire os

[Imagine Programming]

I was not speaking of just me Tristan ;) read everything:)

Besides that the person who is coding the OS for me is a professional Tristan:) and now this is not just bad photoshop:)

If you could make an OS why wouldn't we? i havn't got a big part in this, just make little applications...

[RizlaUK]

Btw.. RizlaUk.. Got Msn??

i dont really use chat apps, i dont have the time, when i get on my pc i like to *work*, i going on holladay next week and i got loads of stuff to do, but after that i will use gaim again.

If you could make an OS why wouldn't we?

like i said, a real bootable OS would impress me, and if i could do it, i proberly would

i havn't got a big part in this, just make little applications...

AMS applactions ?

are you telling me, you have a bootable OS that can run AMS apps and is compleatly independant of any form of windows OS

if thats the case then i am impressed and would like to see it in action.

Well some apps work perfect, but only a few with little functions.

Apps with real function will crash the system lol but it's a start :) as i said i'm not responseble for the OS itself

P.S. i'm not busy with this at the moment, i'm busy with some other projects, if my friend gets it stable i'll work on it again :D

[RizlaUK]

so its much like XP then :eek: lol

still, i bet you learned something along the way, right


btw, im working on that example as we speak, had a handful the last few days and had to keep putting it aside, but i'll get it to you by tonight :yes

[Imagine Programming]

Rizla ur the best! and yes its kinda like XP lol thanks:)

still, i bet you learned something along the way, right

Yeah how XP works hehe no just kidding:) yeah i've learnd abit:) but also thanks to you lol
You've helped me alot in PureBasic and i've trained on AutoIt so i'll learn, i'll get there lol:P

[Pelican]

:eek:
http://www.globalincidentmap.com/map.php

[Imagine Programming]

I can't seem to understand what that has to do with an OS but, omg is this map accurate?

[Pelican]

I'd pretty near have a bet that Windows AllFlavours will not be the operating system that controlled the taking of the satellite images, the satellite itself, or the communication system, until they were terrestial and passed thru a server for distrbution. :o

[ShadowUK]

so its much like XP then :eek: lol

More like vista. :P
