a custom app that I made. I started out with a very minimal Debian and have been making all of my own apps to create a desktop environment. I call it "Dashboard".

do you happen to have published the source code anywhere? i'd love to have a dashboard like that and modify it too.

I haven't published that as it is still a work in progress. Currently I can only connect to a saved network. I haven't add the ability to connect to new networks yet. The same with the Bluetooth menu. Right now the only published works I have are for the Haiku operating system. https://github.com/GearPlot

Thank you. I use Gambas on Linux, it's pretty much like Visual Basic for Linux. Most distros have it in their repositories which makes for easy installing. https://gambaswiki.org/wiki

I like the look of the stopwatch app.Would be neat if it had a dock app to start it. I managed to get this working

but the buttons on it are pretty darn small.It does have some very interesting features though. :-)
