ntim007 Β dakoder Β simobortolo Β Started on a new HTML5/JS desktop today, hopefully it won't be discontinued in one week like virtually all of my other projects... I'm aiming not for it to be like Galaxy html OS - but more like a platform for other people to build on. So the first thing I might do is make it run CloudDesk apps! (Remember I was going to do that with some Galaxy OS version?... but then abandoned it) Anyway, here's a first look:Β sta.sh/0i91dwekvqa
Maybe you could let CloudDesk users choose a desktop environment, like in Linux??? As in, downloads from the CloudDesk app store. (Examples of Linux desktop environments - Google SmartSearch them - GNOME 3, LXDE, KDE etc.) Just an idea, anyway.

Looks nice ! Sorry I didn't notice the mention earlier (I recommend sending notes, it's more noticeable).
Anyways, in case you wanna make running CloudDesk apps possible. You should limit which apps can be used. Only a limited set of apps will be allowed (copyright issues otherwise).
Well, choosing a desktop environment would require lots of maintenance works. Besides, symbiose web OS already does that.

Wow Symbiose is awesome! I've used the GNOME desktop and Elementary OS before in Linux distros, the online attempts to re-create them are pretty good! (Not quite up-to-date though in terms of GNOME...) Are the task manager and browser OK? (i.e. ones that you made)

Sure, but add an info icon in the titlebar buttons showing app info (author, source, ...)

I see what I can do

I don't get what it's for, the current 'pressed' effects (Webkit) are different to this (in look, as well as css).

Well, it's for Firefox support, but I agree the contrast effect looks ugly, but you could just use the drop shadow effect.

btw, the dock has an issue in Firefox when moving icons around.

There were some problems with positioning with things, so I just made sure it looks good on my Chromium, not other browsers (see my other comment)

I don't know why you had to drop support for non webkit browsers just for the reflection thing. I mean the reflection is using a non standard CSS property that shouldn't be used. You could just drop reflection support for non-webkit browsers. I mean that's what i hate the most about webkit, they implement something awesome, pretend it's CSS 3, then get users out of that.
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah, I think you can do it with Firefox too actually.

For your mac online dock, you could make the pressed effect work on Firefox. Just search for "filters MDN".

I dropped support for non-Webkit browsers since things like reflection only work on new Webkit browsers (correct me if I'm wrong, BTW I could do it as another element with opacity but that would require much more code). I guess I could do the pressed thing, maybe not everything like reflection.

One element reflection for Firefox : jsfiddle.net/mtorromeo/eUmR9/
You can achieve something similar with IE or Old Opera.

Firefox is staying default in Ubuntu 13.10 ! But Chromium might by default in 14.04...
π: 0 β©: 1
Woohoo! I probably would've switched to Chromium if Ubuntu had done (I don't mind Ubuntu Chromium too much, at least it's better than Google Chrome with Google spying on you... maybe)
π: 0 β©: 1
You know you can still download Firefox from the Software Center if Ubuntu switched to Chromium right ?
π: 0 β©: 1
Course, just all the integration and stuff will be a bit different, Chromium isn't too bad anyway.

The Firefox community would lose some users

If the users really cared, they would just switch back. Only the "I just go with whatever" users would switch.
π: 0 β©: 1
but I don't get it, Ubuntu chooses the default browser and you cannot change it ? MS was forced to give a choice to their user, and each win installation came with a browser choice app.
π: 0 β©: 1
no, i mean those users would get it from the software center. Course you can get it!

Very good! Or as you would say, Tres bien! That must have taken him a while

If you want to submit your browser app (if you finished it

Nah, I didn't do much work on it, it wasn't working and I deleted it. Not much of my stuff gets finished
