GOLDOS Version 1.6!
Written for GoldOS by john on 2009-09-07
Today I would like to announce the launch of GoldOS version 1.6, this new release has several new features.

As you can see from here the programs menu is moved to where users would expect it - to the bottom left corner of the screen. Furthermore, it uses a treeview instead of a menu which has some advantages if you are opening up more then one application at a time.
Furthermore, you can see the Taskbar has been changed. Now the Taskbar will show you your currently selected window that you are dealing with. Also the checkers application is fully featured now, you can play a full game with promotions and all. The chess program is also fully featured, you cannot do any illegal moves except for those that leave your king in check. You can do all the legal moves including promotions and empassant.

This screenshot shows the other new features - a Desktop process. This process is still in the works, however, it basically shows how we are going to be looking at things in the future in GoldOS. The Desktop currently uses big icons and you cannot do drag and drop operations yet. That may be added in GoldOS version 1.7.

In addition to everything else, the start screen in GoldOS version 1.6 looks nicer for the user.
