Man, you should make the appstore work with oeed's appstore. Also, multitasking opens up the possibility for background applications. It should be possible to right click on a program to make it a background application, which would ignore all visual output. Also, if there isn't already startup applications, there should be. Like, have a potentially infinite list of applications that can be told to run at startup in Settings, and can be individually configured for whether they are ran in the tab you start on, another tab, or a background application.

I want to be able to run oeed's PDA door lock on NinOS, if I can't get OneOS to work.

BTW, NinOS looks AMAZING, and you should be proud of yourself.

Hm... I'll look into the App Store thing. I'm not sure what the best way of doing that would be... As for the multitasking and stuff, I'm going to focus the next beta (after the one coming this week) on enhancing the abilities of multitasking. This will include the ability to run background apps from the Start screen with context menus. I'll see what I can do with the startup applications (I've been thinking about it for a while, but I wasn't sure if it was really wanted). It'll be optional, at least.

As for the PDA door lock... well, NinOS doesn't "work" on PDAs (the GUI is a bit messed up) right now... "right now"... ;)

Thanks for the suggestions!

It looks like... Windows 8... I'll try it, maybe it's better than Windows 8.

So... I may have let NinOS go for a bit :/ By a "bit" I mean... a while...

But I'm back now! I'm excited to work on NinOS! Having seen the recent OSes, I feel that I have a lot to add to NinOS to make it on-par. Although NinOS may never compare to the likes of OneOS, I believe that I can get it to the point where one can look at NinOS and point out the benefits for having it. As the first step towards that, I want to give you guys a list of ideas. These ideas aren't set in stone, but I'm pretty certain that all of them will make it in to NinOS 0.3 Beta 3. This release will take a while, but let me know what you think of the idea list:

NinOS 0.3 Beta 3

Settings:

- Ability to uninstall NinOS

- Disable Notification Center

- Hide Notifications from apps

- Disable SystemCenter

- Hide apps from SystemCenter

- SystenCenter from lockscreen

- Notification Center from lockscreen

- Disable NC or SC in lockscreen from settings

- Time shown


Desktop:

  • Quick Access toolbar

- Quick Access to Update


Time:

- Current minecraft world time is shown

- Option to show real world times


TextEdit:

- Updated overlay windows

- Updated color scheme

- Improved coloring

- Insert tab

- Insert special characters

- Insert functions and Apis


SystemCenter:

- Snake Game

- Redirection


QuickSettings:

- Enable/disable grayscale

- Enable/disable rednet


Nin:

- Nin will greet you by your name

- Family variables

- Math

- Generate command


Store:

  • Auto-server-initialization
  • Commands+
  • Redstone Control App (maybe)
  • Lighter UI
  • Silent downloads

General:

  • Debugger replaced by Messenger

- Dictionary replaced by Games

- Contacts API

  • Change the title of the Start screen

- Launch related books from SystemCenter

- SystemCenter presets

- Welcome notification

- New features notification

- Changelog API

  • Desktop no longer shown in the desktop
  • Settings no longer shown in the desktop
  • Updater no longer shown in the desktop
  • Improved file-count notifications

- Paint app on desktop

- Dashboard


  • Instant Restart Requests GUI Overlay updated to display quicker
  • Many functions were removed that only played at the start of an app (such as the initial draw of the desktop). They were replaced with storing information in variables and only running certain animations depending upon the values of said variables.
  • restart_request is no longer run when checking notifications (Caused an error)
  • Store updated with a darker theme
  • Store icon added for SystemCenter
Nin:
  • Nin updated to use a different method for finding commands. Commands are now stored in the Nin folder. By using a table for responses, and another that attaches a file to be run for those responses, it will be much easier to add commands in the future. This also opens the door for more things to be done with Nin, such as an in-app note taker, or quick access to running programs.
  • Notes
  • List notifications
  • Say hello
  • Give help
  • Open apps
  • Put computer to sleep
  • Restart PC
  • Tell a story
  • Set to grayscale
  • Version
  • Reader support
  • Recommend apps
  • Farewells

  • New search recognition method
  • Multiple phrases supported for same outcome
  • Random number generator
  • Improved notification list
  • “Close”

Reader:
  • Book store; easily add books
  • Store button in the top center
  • Book pages written in easier-to-use format
  • Fixed graphic error when leaving a book opening in another tab
  • List view

Help:
  • List view
  • Apps can store help files in the help folder
  • Fixed slight delay when opening help documents

Desktop:
  • Cleaned up code
  • Mini-Nin
  • QuickAccess
  • Two-finger drag to the right for menu

Settings:
  • Startup apps
  • Startup tasks

Start:
  • Change name of start screen
  • Fixed graphical glitch when opening large apps
  • notificationAmount fixed to show accurate amount
  • notificationAmount fixed to ignore DS_Store files and other irrelevant files


I've already started work on many of these additions, and I may add more. I'm sorry for having left NinOS for so long :/

Chances are it's because you're using 1.6.4, followed steps exactly and nothing happened. Furthermore, line 26 uses a multishell API, which was added in CC 1.6, so chances are you're using CC 1.5 or earlier, especially since that error message hints that a function was called that doesn't exist. Try updating CC, and see if that helps.

About an hour after I made the post, I suspected that I may be out of date, I updated and it worked, thanks. Sorry about that.

Hello all!

0.3 is still a while away, but I wanted to give you guys an update.

To start, entering your password is completely new:

And the start menu is a bit simplified (no more buttons):
Posted Image
You can now use two and one finger drags to access notifications, system center, the menu, and extra shells.

Notifications also work now:
Posted Image
You can click on the notifications, and they'll bring you to their corresponding app. At the same time, they will remove themselves so you don't have to worry about them.

The store received a slight update:

And so does Nin:

This is only the tip of the ice. NinOS 0.3 will bring NinOS a thousand steps in the right direction.

Hi Nintendopup, I looked at your startupfile and was quite shoked when I saw 1700 lines for the startup. Instead of hardcoding everything, try to make it more flexible, with some api like Bedrock, Nova UI or Interact (mine, it's still not ready). You could make it line 1000 lines shorter, and you will save space on the computer. Also try doing this

w,h = term.getSize()
xPos of element z = w-4
yPos of element z = h/2

~Creator

PS: Your OS is amazing!

Hello,

Work on NinOS is coming along well. I am going through each app individually and improving every aspect of it. For example, simply think of the lock screen. I've improved it to not only allow for a more elegant notification system, but also incorporated access to SystemCenter, Notification Center, and the menu. In addition to this, I've completely redesigned the password-entering processing. While keeping the same functionality, I've reduced the amount of code -- making the os more efficient, but just as friendly an capable. In doing this redesign, I've also added user icons. For now, this functionality is limited to only one icon, but that will change in the near future. The beauty of this, though, is that no matter what background you choose to use, you're icon will always look its best. I've done this by using the color-matching process originally made for SystemCenter, but designed from the start to be ported to other parts of the system.

This attention to detail is the fundamental idea behind NinOS 0.3. By looking at each app as a separate environment for the user to experience, I've been able to redesign, improve, and yet clean up the code behind NinOS.

You sound like some Apple ad. I mean great and proffesional. But if you are a pro you see thay a lot of sh*t in these ads. Yours is better. Since +1 are free, as are potatoes, you can get both. ==> NinPotato <== Oh, I like the name. Officially OmnIOS get renamed to NinPotato

... I may or may not base explanations of NinOS off of Apple ads and explanations, despite NinOS resembling Windows 8 :P Also, my explanations contain a much higher amount of truth and Apple's :D

As I get closer to the point where I can at least release a test version of NinOS 0.3, I continue to grow more and more excited about the improvements made.

After using this version of the calculator app, it's hard to say that I'd ever want to use the old one... But that was obviously from the beginning. The design of it is still a work in progress, but the core functions are there.
