First off, its great to see that development for amoebaOS has been progressing greatly these past couple weeks. Many people have been given beta codes and the user base is also slowly growing stronger. If you want a beta code but haven't gotten one, head over to the forum, introduce yourself, and you'll gladly be given a beta code. But anyway, here's the features, fixes and apps for amoebaOS this month.
Startup Sounds
amoebaOS contributor tonynoname has created an application to give startup sounds to amoebaOS. This is not included in amoebaOS by default for the time being, so you can just follow his tutorial over at the forum for instructions to enable startup sounds: http://amoebaos.org/forum/#url=topicid%3D425
If you don't feel like reading the post, you can just add this app to your startup items: http://tonynoname.sites.amoebaos.com/StartupSound.zip
And a video tutorial made by developIT to do that is here: http://www.screenr.com/embed/QA5
App Center
Officially released by still in development is the App Center, also created by tonynoname. This is a great source to find apps for amoebaOS of all different categories. The official forum post is here: http://amoebaos.org/forum/#url=topicid%3D412%26page%3D1
You can find the app in tonynoname's community folder under "App Center".
Updates to System Preferences & Menubar
Many new updates have been added to System Preferences and Menubar. Menubar will now show your username, and if either the time or your username is clicked, then you will be taken to that panel in System Preferences. The clock panel in System Preferences will now show the full date and time and the wallpaper panel has been fixed up. Full forum post and screenshots can be found at the official forum post: http://amoebaos.org/forum/#url=topicid%3D422%26page%3D1
Other Features & Fixes
Other fixes in amoebaOS include:
- Developers can now add their own panels to System Preferences for their apps, making custom app settings a lot easier. Instructions for this will be posted on the forum soon.
- The full screen bug has been fixed. Resizing your browser window while running an invisible full screen app like Widgeted will no longer crash amoebaOS.
-amoebaOS will now use much less memory due to cleaning up of certain classes.
This blog will tell you everything you need to know about amoebaOS and Carbyn, both online operating systems written in HTML5 and JavaScript, along with new features, ideas and awesomeness.
