Polyethylene Workbench

My Amiga Workbench 1.x style homepage. Also my first Angular project.

This does not aim at remaking an Amiga style desktop same as the original one, more likely to be a collection of ideas.

This is still highly experimental and there might be bugs.

Try it out

Features

Pure CSS Amiga Workbench 1.x theme, customizable colors.
Drag & drop icons between windows

Setup

Install Node.js if you don't have it.
Install Angular CLI if you don't have it: npm install -g @angular/cli
Clone this repository and install dependencies. (I don't think you can deal with my project well if you even don't know how to do this)

Run in development

Run ng serve for a dev server
Navigate to http://localhost:4200/.

Build

Run ng build to build the project. Use the --prod flag for a production build.
The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory.

Add application

Create a component and put it in src/app/apps/
Add close = () => { }; to the class. It will be replaced by the application manager service. Call it to exit the application.
Add declaration to src/app/apps/index.ts
Add icon for opening the application in src/app/apps/icons.ts

Add icon

Only use 5 colors in your icon: transparent, #000000, #ffffff, #ffff00, #0000ff.
Put your icons in assets-src/icons/
Run npm run icons

Contributing

Contributing is open. Open an issue, or comment on an existing one before starting a PR, if you want the best chance of it being accepted. (I just don't want to see wasted effort)
