WINDOWS ARE NOW DRAGGABLE YEYEY!, fixing that error took quite a lot of brainpower, i did try using claude but heck even it couldnt figure it out.
i worked on adding more functionallity too, all windows are now minimizable, maximizable, and closable; updated how minimized windows look in the taskbar.
oh and currently, maximizing works best for just “My Computer”, for the others the content doesnt get maximized with it. (will do this for the rest at the end lol )
also also aslo, i made the “edit | view | help” interactive, im still questioning making all their dropdowns have REAL function (comment if ur reading this)

I made a windows 90s themed WebOS; this was my first time doing something of this sort and i had great fun, most of my time went into watching tutorials which aren’t logged obv lol, i learnt a lot, hardcoding icons and basic webos stuff, one regret is that i couldnt get the draggable tabs to work
got done with the entire thing including the remaining functionalities; windows are somehow not draggable and i genuinely cant fix ts đź’” , will write the readme and ship now
also gonna declare AI as i used it to do the writeups and debugging the colours and my basic ahh HTML mistakes

got all the window management working - open/close/minimize,
z-index focus, taskbar buttons. drag was broken for like an hour because
i was reading offsetLeft before the element was positioned. also the
minimize -> reopen didn’t refocus correctly, had to add the refocus()
function to scan for the highest z.

hard coded these icons (learnt these from a tutorial, i find this really helpful tbh; it helps with scaling because ive always had issues with my pixels and dimensions)

short session. built the taskbar and start menu.
the start menu banner gradient took forever, kept
looking purple instead of navy. fixed it eventually.
didn’t touch the windows at all.
Really short session, i built the taskbar and the start menu (not all the functionality yet), the gradient was kind of bugging me for the start menu it somehow kept looking purple. DID NOT touch the windows at all

started this OS thing tonight. looked at win98 design inspirations and jotted down my ideas
for an hour. the border trick is 4 colors not 2, kept getting it wrong.
got one window looking right by end; no functionality yet.
