UltraXP 2.0 Alpha (revision 1) + UltraXP 2.0 Alpha revision 2

As you may know (or not), I recently published UltraXP 2.0 Alpha r1 (or UltraXP 2.0 Alpha Codebase 1.0 Revision 3 in canonical format). Either way, you can view it here. It basically sports the same features that the previous post covered (BTW, the disabled format only affects logged-in users, unauthenticated users will remain unaffected, as cloud variables are limited to logged-in users), but I completely revamped the startup and shutdown screens, and added a few Easter eggs, all of which are easily found ;)

Anyway, I also added a roadmap feature (not inside the program, but over here in the blog) that shows what features are coming in the next release(s).

Roadmap as of UltraXP 2.0 r1:
  • User-specific sync settings (will work if Scratch enables user-specific cloud data)
  • Support for a second side-by-side OS, connected by a sidebar line (possible for UltraXP 3.0)
  • An app market to add/remove apps to UltraXP, and then synchronize the options via cloud data. 




UltraXP 2.0 Alpha (revision 2)

I also will add the ability to sync choices throughout the OS, which means that when UltraXP starts, it automatically imports the settings from the cloud, and any changes that a user makes to these settings get saved to the cloud.
