List of Apps/Plugins…
Today I thought I’d put up a proposed list of apps/plugins that will make their way into NXG. So here we go in no particular order:
- Web Browser (including the Webkit and Trident rendering engines)
- IRC Client
- IRC Channel Bot Creator
- Instant Messenger (Our own NXG protocol)
- FTP Server
- HTTP (Web) Server
- FTP Client
- Bittorrent Client
- Simple Text Editor (Notepad-ish)
- Word Processor
- Spreadsheet
- Presentation Maker
- Image Viewer
- Image Editor (Better than “Paint”!)
- Sketch IDE (Sketch is the native scripting language for NXG)
- Email Client
- Media Player (Audio/Video)
These will all be native apps (as opposed to scripted apps) but most of them will be optional. If you can think of anything else that you feel should be in NXG, let me know on here, via email or on Facebook.

IRC early demo
So here it is… an early demo of the IRC client plugin for NXGshell. The channel window does support emoticons, but I have yet to choose a set so no visuals of those yet. Obviously the nicklist is not finished, and the graphical channel topic panel needs coding too, but it is working as far as connecting and basic chatting. I’ll update you all on Sunday.

IRC…
So I just about have the sockets coded for the IRC plugin, just need to get it to cater for all the different usermodes on different networks, then create the visual side. Some of the visual stuff I have already got code for (remember NXG4?) but will need some tweaking to get it working in this environment. Should have a demo ready by mid-week (Wednesday or Thursday). Will post some pics then.
Read MoreDock
Ok, I know it’s a bit “Appleish”, but I like the idea and I had some old code that partly did this, so I revamped it a little and made a “dock” bar. Plus I worked on the “start” menu, aka launcher a bit more. Here’s a pic:
Comments, suggestions and flames welcome. Well ok not flames 
New window style…
I have just finished coding a new look for the windowing environment in NXG Shell. Here it is demonstrated showing a simple browser displaying Facebook:
Now as it’s 2:44am, I need some sleep….
Read MoreLogin dialog
I have been working on the login section this week. This is where you login when NXG Shell starts, and it fetches your details (i.e. settings, plugins and apps) from the cloud. Here is a pic of the login dialog…
The idea is, you will be able to run NXG from anywhere (with an internet connection of course) and get all your settings without installing anything. Stay tuned

The first app!
The very first “app” for NXG shell is demonstrated above. A (very) simple web browser is shown above looking at this website. It obviously needs a bit of work, but it’s a start. More to come… Stay tuned
