So is Corpse going to base this OS on unix or start from scratch?

Basing it off Unix would be a better solution. It's already a very stable base to build off.

Hey Corpse,

Its good to see you are trying, i guess we all did that at some point.

If you wanna do OS/GUI mockups, have a look at "Adobe Imagestyler" and "Microsoft Visio", those will be a great help to you

As for the interface, well.. its not prety, but you should have seen my first mockup, it was for a text based menu system for dos .. about 15 years ago.. talk about being bud-ass ugly.

Anyway.. your mockup got me thinking about nextstep..

Hope this helped you on the way.

I clearly stated please don't any negative, flame or insult Posts. If I DO MAKE IT, then base it on UNIX(-like). It won't be based on Microsoft Windows. Why did I call it Triangle? Because I couldn't find another Name.

Differences between Triangle & Windows:

-Has no Taskbar
-Shutdown & Log off Options are in Top Right Corner
-There's an Opened Programs Tab
-There's a Recently Opened Programs Tab
-When you open a Program it shifts from the Desktop to the Opened Programs Tab (in other Words: It doesn't stay on the Desktop, it moves from the Desktop to the Opened Programs Tab)
-It's called Triangle; not Windows
-It has Mozilla Firefox; not Internet Explorer

And I think you know the rest of the differences.

Here's another Image:



Remember, I'm crap at using Paint. If I do release it, then everything will be smaller.

Thank you to the other guys for your support. Leonbollerup, that Link is broken, but thanks anyway.

Corpe,

You know, you need to learn to handle critisim as well, if you outright say that you dont you want to hear negative things critisim is what make us all want to better outself.

Anyway, good luck with your project.

I think he's only giving a mockup of what it's gonna look like.
The only problem I see, is how you'll arrange the programs.
Other then that, I like the BeOS-style Opened Programs menu.

One thing I think should go is the end session (shutdown, logoff, etc.) because everybody would only use them once a session. Maybe you could put them on the programs menu, like windows has done since 95.

Why would I want to copy other Operating Systems? This is just a UNIX-Like Operating System. You can't say I copied BeOS, because I didn't have a clue what it was until now when I searched it up on Wikipedia. The Image on Wikipedia looks just like Windows 95 with the Taskbar on Top. My Operating System doesn't have a Taskbar/Superbar. Just an Applications Manager, Opened Programs Manager, Recently Opened Programs Manager, Applications on Desktop, Shutdown & Log Off Options, ICQ, Limewire, WinMX, Mozilla Firefox. I might call my first Operating System Version Triangle Phoenix, if I do release it. Hopefully, yes.

dude.. whats with the attitude, you literally pick up on everything anyone says to you and bitch about it.. calm down kid, and try to use the comments you get to something posetive and constructive...

Using your mockups I could make you a more sophisticated mockup via photoshop.

Excuse me? Grow up, I'm not the one being immature. This is my normal Attitude. I'm not bitching about anything, oh & I'm a bit old to be a Kid don't you think?! I was simply answering everyone's Comments. If I were bitching, being immature & childish then I'd be posting something like this: "WOULD YOU STOP IT! STOP IT! NOW! IDIOT!". Have a happy Insult!



Really, that'd be nice. Thanks!

You can use GIMP.
Not bad for a freeware.

Corpse I've seen you much angrier and I agree, you're in a seemingly good mood today.

Today? It's 4:20 AM here in Adelaide, South Australia.

Good night, also , when you sleep ?

Just to know......

*deleted former post*

This is getting nowhere.

Why in the world are you picking on him for his choice of "today"? That's called immature, I don't know what else to call it. People have been surprisingly nice to you in this thread and you just can't handle criticism.

Anyway, just take it easy [/quote]

1. I never said I owned Beta Archive, did I? Watchout before you Post.
2. I don't agressively attack Peoples other Posts verbally. Did you know that "Bitch" & "Bitching" are Slang Words? So you're the one verbally attacking me.
3. Learning from criticism? What?!

Anyway, don't call me out .

What the hell are you talking about?! I just basically stated that it was 4:20 PM here in Adelaide, South Australia, because he never knew. Grow up!

Kids are Young People aged from their Birth up until 18, I'm 20.



What the hell are you on about?! How am I being immature for basically saying that it's 4:20 AM here, because he never knew that?

whatever.. you clearly do not understand what i mean, so i take its a waste of time to explain it...

Then you should be harassing yourself for going off topic. The point of this topic wasn't "ZOMG wut Time Zone Do I Livez In!?", it's about your mockup. Not time zone.

Wow. I'm not the one who turned this Topic into "Let's p**s off Corpse!!!"! I replied to that other guy, saying what time it is. I'm not the one who started. Oh & please don't edit my Posts or make Posts I never made. So grow up. I know you're just trying to p**s me off & believe me, you won't like it.

Yeah, I do understand it. Clearly you don't understand my replies due to not reading all of it.

I have NEVER, not ONCE edited ANY of your posts. EVER. How DARE you accuse me of such rubbish. you are insulting my character and accusing me of things I have never done, and I will not stand for it.
Any post I have made to you regarding this topic has been general criticism until you've taken it ALL too far and our of proportion. You can't handle criticism, you get angry, and you make stupid posts that are just flaming others. You turn almost every single one of your topics - hell - every topic you participate in into a flame war. If every single one of your topics get locked, don't you think you should look at your own posts, and think what you may be doing to instigate a situation, instead of instantly accusing others?

Wow, then why did you accuse me of posting this then: "ZOMG wut Time Zone Do I Livez In!?"? And I'm not flaming anyone. I'm replying. Everyone's ganging up on me here.

*Sigh*, no one on this Site when enough is enough.

And, I'm going to bed, 5:06 AM here, cya!

Someone with half a brain would be able to realize and understand that I never said you said that, and that I was being a little sarcastic with my post.
Also, you haven't responded to my pointing out that maybe you're the problem, and it'd be interesting to see why it is you think that every other person is the problem but yourself, in every and any instance. I've never, not once, seen you apologize for what you've said or when you've been mistaken.

didn't know it was that early in the morn'. It's 1:39 PM over here in America.

Also, lets end the flame war NOW! Andy said he would ban ANY member who participates. Let's continue on the discussion of Triangle OS Development, I like being allowed to come back here! and furthermore, I have made a post in this topic which means I have participated (if this topic becomes a full blown flame war.)

Corpse, I like the Idea, now all you really need is to design the GUI using X11 (The X-Windows System.)

leonbollerup,Derf If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. That applies to anyone else.
