Cool! Can you make the window animated and transparent in Vista?

Rexx port:

/*arch_is_best.rexx*/
say 'Arch is the best!'

It should work under Linux with Regina, but I haven't done anything radical like, you know, test it.

If you have an Amiga or UAE this should be prettier, provided rexxreqtools.library is installed:

/*arch_is_best_reqtools.rexx*/
options results
call addlib('rexxreqtools.library',0,-30,0)
req = rtezrequest('Arch is the best!','Better than AmigaOS?','Hey!')

This is great! I spent ages learning that language and I never get to use it any more.

(Edited: I forgot the "the". Must have been thinking of the Official "Arch is best" Thread.)

I made some artworks :

Wow, you're some artist...

bb10 · 2008-04-22 21:18:26

We could use it as a splash image.

Edit: made a new splash image

No, no, no… it's spelled with "a": "the Beast"—of speed that is

bb10 · 2008-04-22 23:01:24

Thats v1.2, it's still in alpha phase though. I'll make a new splash image when it enters the beta phase.

I had some free time today so I put together a GUI. It is made in Lazarus.
I used the image that faelar posted (the one i made was not as professional
looking.)

I tried to keep the GUI as KISS as possible.

I added 2 buttons. 1 button is sorta regular size and the other is really big.
I know some people like big buttons and some do not. Both buttons can
be pressed. It is not mandatory to press them. You do not HAVE to press them
if you do not want to. But the option to press them is there if you want to do it.

I added a drop down box. If you click on it, it sorta drops down, kinda. You
can, if you want, select any item in the list. Like the buttons, this is optional.
There is no pressure on you to select anything and no pressure for you not
to select anything. Its totally up to you.

I also added a wicked awesome slider thingy. It slides, sorta. I have made
it so that it will go to 11. Just like the buttons and drop down box, you do
not have to slide it if you do not want too.

I was gonna add a textbox but, no one types anymore. Why would anyone type
when we have a mouse?? Click click clickety click click!

With software like that world supremacy is ours!

It might be ours. It might not. It depends, sorta.

Couldn't we get a gtk+2 gui instead?

Could we have the source code for that ? After all, this is an open-source world...

I think this application should be delievered with any linux-distribution. It should be a dependency of the kernel so no one can get rid of it. With this strategy we could reach WORLD-DOMINATION!!! MUHAHAHAAAA!!!

Should be autoloaded and always stay in front.

That's right! In-kernel solution that can't be compiled as a module :>

don't forget Common Lisp. This works in the "clisp" dialect.

(with-open-stream (uname-r (ext:run-shell-command "uname -r" :output :stream))
  (if (search "ARCH" (read-line uname-r))
    (format t "Arch is the best!")
    (format t "Get a proper Distribution - Arch Linux is the best!")))
