So today I fully changed all the colors of pretty much everything because it kind of looked bad and the colors right now look so much better. I also changed the fonts to something more space-like, since it’s literally called space mono.
I also did part two of the guide adding the clock and the basic window parts. I added a lot of space looking stuff to really match the theme but right now it’s looking kind of cramped so I still have to fix that.
I messed around with the colors and tried to get the buttons in the right places, get the sizes right and all that which is why this took a lot longer than it was supposed to. Just trying to make it look good, you know.
Overview:
So today I started creating StarShipOS which is a webOS that is themed around a spaceship/cockpit type feel. For step 1 of the building thing based on the guide I made a pretty detailed welcome screen inside an index.html file. To go beyond the basics of the mission I tried using things like and to really make the welcome screen look welcoming. It kinda took a long time to get the fonts, sizings, and colors right but it good in the end.
A big problem:
It was that I tried to use GitHub Codespace but there were many issues with that and I couldn’t actually run the page through that easily. I also didn’t have wakatime in that already so it was kind of annoying. That’s why I just moved over to VSCode because I already had everything set up and had experience with it.
So what I made in detail:
I built a custom web design to make the screen look like a legit sci-fi computer. The background is super dark with neon colors andi n the middle there is a profile picture of a rocket ship that actually looks really good.
