gollark: You should probably not be hardcoding sizes.

gollark: Not just "it's like WINDOWS, but for ComputerCraft, and actually not really like Windows as much as just a start menu, desktop and one GUI program".

gollark: They're typically significantly more interesting and creative.

gollark: Copy-pasting this from two months ago:Wild theory on new people constantly wanting to make an OS: they think something like "Oh wow, CC is so unlike Windows! And I have never seen any desktop OS but Windows! I must make it more like Windows so it is more familiar. Clearly nobody else has done this, or it would already be the default, because this is obviously better." Not explicitly/exactly that obviously, but think this might be close to what's going on.

gollark: It uses the CraftOS shell, yes, because I don't like GUIs and this was easier.
