HueBit-OS 1.4.5b

[v1.4.6] - Lastest

• Fixed: Start menu power buttons now show icons (lock, restart, power).
• Fixed: Taskbar volume icon now properly updates and shows current level.
• Fixed: Username changes in Settings immediately update the lock screen and persist.
• Added: A new lock screen that appears before accessing the desktop, improving session security and system flow.
• Improved: SVG fallbacks now render in more places when icons fail to load.

[v1.4.5b]

• Fixed: VS Code File menu behavior.
  “Import…” now correctly loads files from your PC into the mini-OS.
  “Open File…” now opens files from the OS virtual filesystem (no more “undefined” icons).
• Fixed: Open dialog shows a clear error when a file can’t be loaded (binary/unsupported files), and keeps the previous file open.
• Added: real-time sync between editors — saving a file in the Text Editor now updates it in VS Code when open and not dirty.
• Improved: VS Code terminal now shares the same shell backend as the system terminal (same commands, selectable output, full history, and better multiline tracebacks).
• Misc: polish for file dialogs, updated changelog system.

[v1.4.5] - Latest

• Added new visual bootloader: black startup screen with terminal-style neon log, followed by dynamic logo splash and prioritized lock screen loading.
• Improved boot sequence order: lock screen now loads before any desktop UI elements.
• Added safe boot system: automatic retry once on failure, then stops with a clear error message if the issue persists.
• Improved UI resilience: step-by-step initialization to prevent a single component error from breaking the entire desktop.
• Enhanced responsive logo rendering with proportional scaling and drop shadow.

These bootloader changes are added to fix previous bugs that occurred when starting the system.

System Update

Version updated to 1.4.4 across all system references.

[v1.4.3]
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Factory Reset added in Settings → Reset.

You can now fully reset the OS to its default state.
After confirming, all saved data is deleted (settings,
wallpaper, password, avatar and user files) and the
system reloads like the first time it was opened.

Profile pictures added in Settings → Privacy.

Users can upload a custom avatar shown in the Start
Menu and Lock Screen. It is stored in localStorage
and can be removed to return to the default icon.

All emojis were replaced with SVG icons for consistent
appearance across browsers and systems. Updated across
the taskbar, explorer, settings, terminal, VS Code UI
and other system areas.

Text Editor now supports multiple tabs.

Tabs show the file name and an unsaved indicator (●).

Shortcuts:
Ctrl+T → New tab
Ctrl+W → Close tab

Saving works on the active tab and at least one tab
always remains open.

System files now update automatically when the OS
version changes, while user files and settings stay
untouched.

Audio Player stability fixes:
several silent failures fixed, clearer errors added,
Open File button added, and volume handling improved.

Note for Ship reviewers:

If an error appears, please check the browser console.
The previous audio player bug did not happen on my
machine, so debugging was difficult.

I also tried fixing it using Claude to help detect
possible errors not appearing locally. Since the
issue might be related to saved data, a reset option
and system file refresh system were added to keep
the OS state consistent.

Console logs would help a lot. Thanks.
