Password is osh Fullscreen mode is highly recommended when using, as clicks may sometimes not go through on such a small viewport in non-fullscreen. To close the application, click either the hide/close buttons at the top, or press [W]. Q&A: Q: How do I... login? A: Read the top. Q: Backgrounds. Where did you get the inspiration? A: For me, I try to make backgrounds that tailor to as much audiences as possible, and ensuring that each theme has a wallpaper that fits well with the UI elements. Q: Why is this called "Netune OS"? A: At that time, I was thinking of a portmanteau of the words "Neptune" and "Net", and "Net-tune" just sounded good at that time. No further explanations. Q: What do "themes" do? A: They can change the look and feel of the UI, from icons, buttons, taskbar, sound, and even the desktop layout itself! Q: Why doesn't the browser work? A: Because right now I'm too lazy to make some webpages, so have a 404 error. Might get to it on Dec break though! Q: Why is the code so hard to read? A: To cut down on the amount of blocks I use (and subsequently load time), I sometimes use some... shortcuts when it comes to coding, at the cost of readability though. For me, I don't particularly care that much, though I'm aware this makes it more of a pain to remix. Q: are you blue A: no, am violet.
If you don't know what this is, or you're new here, this is a release of a series of OS simulators, Netune OS. Why? Answered in Instructions above. This specific version supersedes release "NetuneOS 8.4." Release notes are available below. Version 8.5 (UPDATE 1): Changed thumbnail. Changes: -"Darkmist" theme now has a subtle blue tint to make it look more modern. -Converted the "Recent Activities" display list into sprite. -Lots of new wallpapers, especially LGBTQ+ themed, to complete the grid. -New animations to make the whole UI feel less "static" and more modern. -New starting animations for both "Darkmist" and "Semi-Oliver" themes. -Paint has gotten a MAJOR refresh this time: a new color preview, and different brushes to accompany your artistic side! (Some borrowed from @Griffpatch) -Replaced a LOT of songs in the music player. -Replaced the old "Semi-Oliver" theme with the new "Green-You" theme, a more modernized variant. -Wallpaper view changed: Nine tiles show at a time, and click on one to activate their respective wallpaper. Use the arrow buttons to navigate. Fixed: -Camera "helper" text still appearing after the camera is turned on. -Clock on the bar spaced too closely. -Incorrect song lengths for some tracks. -Lots of unused stuff that doesn't ever appear in the UI. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// PREVIOUS RELEASES: Version 8.4 Added: -Calculator now has a button that will fill your input with the previous answer calculated, if applicable. -New app-in-progress: Web Browser. It's what you're using to view this project. (not really, lol.) -Paint app adds a dedicated "eraser" brush (toggle w/ E.) -New Wallpapers: Mountainrise, Dark City, Hillside, and Lesbian. Changed: -"Blocks Simple" theme replaced with "Darkmist" theme -"Beams" wallpaper color changed from purple to pink. -"Grid" wallpaper updated. -Default Aero theme wallpaper changed to "Grid". -Appearance options in Settings have been reorganized into a single menu, divided into two subcategories: wallpaper & themes. -Calculator truncates numbers larger than 10^21, and numbers lower than 10^-7. -Network indicator now works properly. -Updated "Aero" theme resources.

(Night Hills, Noon Hills, PINK, and Pride.) -The painting application now has a dedicated "Help" menu on how to use, as well as some visual changes. -Themes "Classic", "Simple", and "Aero" have been given their own visual refresh, along with new names for the first two, "Blocks Simple", and "Semi-Oliver".

Where's 8.1 and others? Why start at 8.2?? Eh, this is all based off an old project of mine back in late 2023. So yep, there's a 1.0, it's just... too amateur-ish. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Here are the actual credits. Songs: -Chappell Roan was sung and written by Chappell Roan. -"Through the Fire and Flames" was performed by the band DragonForce. -"Undersouls" was a remix composed by artist shimaL for the album UNDERVEIL. -"Fly Away" is composed by TheFatRat. Misc: -A few people for helping test pre-releases, and reporting issues for me to fix. -Sound effects sourced from KDE 3, SUSE Linux 10, and Sam Hulick (who made the proposed Ubuntu 14.04 start sounds.) -The text engine used for the time, date, and calculator display are modified scripts from Griffpatch. -Darkmist theme is a remaster of the desktop used in another OS sim of mine, proj:OS 10. -Green-You theme... obviously draws heavy inspiration from Material You design by Google. -Aero theme in this sim was heavily inspired and based upon Windows Vista, Windows 7, KDE 4, GNOME 2, and GNOME 3.0. The Tango Desktop Project heavily influenced the icons used for this theme.
