gollark: I have no idea what I did which made it do *that*.
gollark: And it draws that whole taskbar thing at the bottom *just* for the `start` button, since this "OS" is monotasking and doesn't actually have windowing support at all.
gollark: The `settings` option doesn't work, `programs` is only Paint and LuaIDE, and there's no way to get a shell except the `run` button.
gollark: Also, you're doing fake loading bars in startup, which is basically evil.
