WinOS v1.7 - System Tweaks & ā€œTotally Safeā€ Apps! šŸ› ļøšŸ’»

I’ve been diving back into the code to make the interface even smoother. This build focuses on a cleaner look and a… very interesting new addition.

What’s new:
Settings App Redesign: I completely overhauled the CSS for the Settings app. It now features a more modern, streamlined layout that matches the Windows 11 aesthetic perfectly.
Added Cheats++ App: I’ve integrated a new app called Cheats++. (And don’t worry, it’s definitely not a virus). It’s there for all your ā€œenhancementā€ needs within the OS environment.

I’m really happy with how the ā€œdefinitely safeā€ Cheats++ app looks on the taskbar. Peace out

Shipped this project!

Hours: 3.76
Cookies: šŸŖ 95
Multiplier: 25.26 cookies/hr

I built WinOS, a fully functional web-based operating system inspired by Windows 11! šŸš€

The hardest part was moving away from static layouts to a dynamic, multi-window environment. I successfully implemented draggable windows, a centered Start Menu, and a real-time taskbar. I also integrated several functional apps, including a File Explorer with working navigation, a Terminal, a Paint app, and even Minecraft.

I’m most proud of the custom window management and the Settings engine that allows for real-time wallpaper changes. This project pushed my full-stack skills to the limit and was the perfect way to complete the webOS sidequest! šŸ’»āœØ

WinOS v1.6 - The Customization & Gaming Update! šŸŽØšŸŽ®

I’ve been cooking again and this build is officially the cleanest one yet. I finally added some good stuff!

What’s new:

New Settings UI: I completely overhauled the Settings app layout. It’s much more organized and actually feels like a real system app now.
Wallpaper Engine: You can now change wallpapers directly from the Settings app! I finally got the logic working so you can personalize your desktop on the fly.
Paint App is Live: I added a Paint app so you can get creative and draw right on the desktop.
Minecraft is Live: Added a Minecraft app to the desktop because you can’t have an OS without some gaming.
Updated Window Sizes: I tweaked the Windows Size for all apps so they don’t spawn in weird dimensions anymore.
Windows 11 Vibes: I updated the CSS so the app windows look exactly like Windows 11, with the rounded corners and those premium-looking borders.

I’m getting closer to a final version for the webOS sidequest! Peace out. āœŒļø

I built WinOS, a web-based operating system inspired by the Windows 11 aesthetic!

The hardest part was moving away from static layouts to a dynamic, multi-window system. I successfully implemented draggable windows, a centered startup menu, and a real-time taskbar. I also built out a functional Calculator, a Spotify player integration, and even a few games like Impossible TicTacToe.

I’m most proud of the custom window management logic that makes it feel like a real desktop environment. It’s been a massive learning curve for my full-stack journey!

I’ve been cooking with this build and it’s finally feeling like a real OS. Here is what’s new:

Files & Terminal: The File Explorer and Terminal actually have basic functions now instead of just being empty boxes.
Gaming Suite: I added three new games: Quiz, Typing Test, and a TicTacToe with an ā€œImpossible Modeā€ (good luck winning, you won’t).
Lock Screen: Added a Simple lock screen (Click to unlock) to make the startup feel official.
Spotify Integration: The Spotify app is live and works using a Spotify embed player.

What’s new:

Windows are Draggable: You can finally grab the title bar and move windows anywhere on the desktop!
Start Menu: Added a centered Windows 11-style menu that actually feels smooth.
Functional Calc: The Calculator app is officially alive and doing math now.
New App Shells: Added Files and Terminal icons; they don’t ā€œworkā€ yet, but the vibes are there.
UI Fixes: Moved the clock to the far right and stacked desktop icons vertically on the left.

Yo, finally got WinOS v1.0 running! šŸš€
I’ve been grinding on this for like 2 hours. It’s not Windows 11 yet, but the vibes are there.

What I did:
Window Engine: Coded the logic to open, close, and maximize apps without everything breaking.
Desktop: Got the wallpaper working and set up the icon grid.
Apps: Added Notepad, Settings, and a browser called ā€œNot Google Chromeā€ lol.
The Struggle: All Apps are in ā€œUnder Developmentā€ and has Nothing it.

Next up: making the windows draggable so it feels legit. āœŒļø
