this new desktop environment is stealing the hearts of thousands and hoarding them away in its lair! what new experiences await with the power of the Cohost 22 operating system? find out for yourself! (desktop only)

some quick notes:

animations in details tags seem to be handled differently between chromium (at least edge) and firefox, so firefox users you get the ~~shutdown~~ and ^repeated start menu animations all to yourselves :)
you cant actually interact with anything that is down and to the right of the window on top, this is a limitation of how the draggable window hack works that i don't think is bypassable
ps in case i did a bad job making it obvious you do need to click desktop icons again to close applications
demoing things in standalone browser then copying over to cohost and realizing i need several dozen margin:reverts is extremely fun and cool and not soul crushing
it's come to my attention since this was posted that window dragging controls are inverted on older versions of firefox for some reason, up to at least version ~102. idk why but i dont think i can fix it so sorry!

anyway enjoy this little thing!

This is awesome! I especially liked the volume controls

glotch @glotch11/25/2022, 7:10 PM

thanks! i tried to make the volume controls elegant and simple in line with modern era ui design, glad you liked them

unarei @noa11/27/2022, 1:33 AM

baduibattles volume controls

Matthias @docace11/25/2022, 7:24 PM

The RAM had me laugh out loud :D

glotch @glotch11/25/2022, 7:39 PM

it makes me so happy that someone noticed this

lea @lea11/25/2022, 7:33 PM

in terms of css crimes, this is Hague-worthy

glotch @glotch11/25/2022, 7:41 PM

they can indict me, i don't care, cause this post isn't going anywhere!

Beta is on cohost dot org @stillinbeta11/25/2022, 9:49 PM

Absolutely lost it at “Running” well done

glotch @glotch11/25/2022, 10:19 PM

thanks!!

ArBe @arbe11/25/2022, 10:31 PM

Strange, I turned the volume down but I can still hear the screaming...

glotch @glotch11/25/2022, 10:48 PM

this is a known bug on some more modern sound card models. we are working on a fix, sorry!

D @pinstripeowl11/26/2022, 10:45 PM

oh my goodness, this is great

D @pinstripeowl11/26/2022, 10:48 PM

the help function was especially polite

glotch @glotch11/27/2022, 7:09 AM

many hours of focus group testing were conducted to reach maximum politeness. glad all that hard work hasnt gone to waste

joe m 🐀@ch00beh11/27/2022, 1:30 AM

I tried to turn it off immediately

glotch @glotch11/27/2022, 6:36 AM

valid reaction

unarei @noa11/27/2022, 1:30 AM

you cant actually interact with anything that is down and to the right of the window on top, this is a limitation of how the draggable window hack works that i don't think is bypassable

you might be able to do pointer-events:none on the container and then pointer-events:all on the window itself

glotch @glotch11/27/2022, 6:34 AM

tried this before. unfortunately you cant actually drag the window around if you do this because pointer events none also disables resize

unarei @noa11/27/2022, 7:37 AM

ah dang

unarei @noa11/27/2022, 7:45 AM

i'm sure it's possible because i've seen those posts where you can drag around a bunch of stuff but i can't remember what to search to find it

unarei @noa11/27/2022, 1:35 AM

run -> running

inbtwn @inbtwn11/27/2022, 6:13 AM

cant believe it took someone this long to css crime a windows parody... smh

glotch @glotch11/27/2022, 6:46 AM

im going to assume this site has also attracted some subset of the population that made toy operating systems on scratch years ago like me. in that sense it was truly a mattter of when, not if

unarei @noa11/27/2022, 7:46 AM

adding a 10 second loading screen for each app because that's what Real computers do

glotch @glotch11/27/2022, 7:56 AM

i didnt do loading screens, but i did do 5 second fade ins because that IS what real computers do. also sound effects that are actually noises coming out of the mouth of an 8 year old, i believe windows vista introduced that feature

unarei @noa11/27/2022, 7:59 AM

literally i had a 5 second fade in with a little text overlay on top that said "Loading..." and combine that with the 5 second fade out closing the current application to switch to the new one

glotch @glotch11/27/2022, 8:17 AM

"it wouldn't be real if it didn't load. everything needs loading time!!!" more surprised that i actually knew what a loading was

inbtwn @inbtwn12/1/2022, 11:01 PM

same except for me it was powerpoint woozy smiley

glotch @glotch12/2/2022, 1:57 AM

oh cool, that's vile!

rotates him @calico-catboy11/27/2022, 11:54 PM

love the RAM, and what happens when you click run really got me for some reason

glotch @glotch11/28/2022, 1:40 AM

thanks! the amount of people who have commented on the run gag is unprecedented lol

felidoptera (chridd/chrideedee on most other sites)@felidoptera11/30/2022, 3:11 AM

Moving the windows seems to work backwards on my browser (Firefox [mumbles version number]). If I drag it to the right, it moves left, if I drag it up, it moves down, etc.

glotch @glotch11/30/2022, 3:19 AM

i am also on firefox so i can say with confidence "what the fuck"

with no other info it sounds like something weird happened with the way it rendered the div hack. the windows are in a 180 degree rotated div thats contained in a larger, also 180 degree rotated div

no idea why this would happen on the same browser as me though?? my non mumbled firefox version is 107.0 if you want to compare

felidoptera (chridd/chrideedee on most other sites)@felidoptera12/1/2022, 1:39 AM

I was mumbling because I know it's super out-of-date and also didn't want to bother checking. (78.15.0esr) Also I'm on Mac OS X, idk if there are OS differences.

glotch @glotch12/1/2022, 2:14 AM

yeah just downloaded firefox 78 this shit is Broken As Fuck on there lol. actually i reopened the browser and it had auto updated itself to firefox 102, where it is still broken?? i still probably wont fix Whatever This Bug Is though because i don't think there's another way to get the resize handle in the top left corner without doing this thing that apparently doesnt work on old firefox
