It might be nice to make /sys/demo/desktop more than a mere demo; it could be a full-fledged desktop GUI. Let's use this thread to discuss and consolidate ideas.
High Priority
- Single-click files to select them (shift-click to select multiple)
- Rename selected file
- Copy/Move/Delete selected files
- Right-click title bar to pop up menu of enclosing folders (or some other UI for this)
- Remember window state between runs
- Show menu shortcuts in menu
- Improved menu bar font (and font positioning)
- Some sensible way to manage columns of icons in the folder views
Medium Priority
- "Desk accessories" (plug-in programs/mods that add to the desktop experience), including:
- Calculator
- Minesweeper
- Menu bar clock
- Menu bar "eyes" 👀
- Dock windows as tabs on left/right/bottom edge of screen
- In-desktop preview windows for images, text files, .md files, fonts (maybe these viewers should be mods too!)
- "New File" with submenu for file types
Low Priority
- List view mode (selectable vs. Icon view)
- Preferences window
- About dialog with some cool animation or easter egg
