I've finished coding the skinning system for the BWM. Over the skinning
commits, I've added:
- 2 new Shiftorium Upgrades
- 3 new Applications
- A bunch of bugfixes
- A new filetype
- and more.
Alpha 3.1 will be released now.
Yay! ShiftOS Next can finally be Shifted! Yes, that's true. I've added
basic skinning to the Basic Window Manager. Currently, the only way to
get to it is by typing "open shifter" in the Terminal, and the Shifter
will open. Choose the settings you want and hit Apply!
This is also the Alpha 3 commit, so after this I'll make the next
release.
Alright, I've added the Draggable Windows upgrade to the Shiftorium, as
well as fixed a quick bug causing "No Items Available" to display when
there were items clearly available.
I've also fixed a positioning bug with BWM windows causing them to start
in the center of the screen, relative to the titlebar, rather than the
form.
I've also re-arranged the code a bit, organizing files in folders. APIs
are in the APIs folder, Desktop Environments are in the Desktop
Environments folder, etc.
The shiftorium still doesn't have draggable window functionality yet...
We're one step closer to the full Basic Window Manager implementation.
I've created a UserControl called "TitleBar" for the BWM. This
UserControl contains the window handling code for draggable windows, as
well as a design-time settable AppName property that allows you to
change the application display name (what text is shown on the
titlebar).
Shiftorium upgrades to unlock Draggable Windows will be added soon, but
I have to clean the beast.
WARNING: Due to a bug that made the save engine think it was ShiftOS
0.0.8, I had to change the actualshiftversion variable to prevent older
ShiftOS versions opening the save file thus crashing. Due to this,
ShiftOS-Next will automatically delete C:\ShiftOS and rewrite the save.
Besides that, I've added a new Window Manager that can be bought after
buying Gray, Basic GUI Server, File Skimmer, and Textpad. This window
manager allows you to run multiple apps at once in their own window, as
well as having up to 3 Terminals running at once. It is a
work-in-progress feature, but it's currently stable.
Alrighty. This one's a small one.
I've ported the two beginner apps from UltraDOS that helped you earn
codepoints (scriptpoints in UltraDOS) to ShiftOS-Next.
I've also moved some Terminal methods like AddLine() to an API.vb
module. I've also hid the MathQuiz and GuessTheNumber code in the
TerminalGames module.
I've added some new Shiftorium upgrades, as well as some save engine
fixes. If you add to the engine, and try to load, say a Boolean value
from a line containing a blank String value, it'll detect that and tell
you it'll rewrite that line. It preserves what it has already loaded.
I've also added some new terminal commands, and some Shiftorium
bugfixes.
