Introduction
For the last two months, I've been working on a new shell for the TI-84 Plus CE/TI-83 Premium CE calculators, designed to be a Windows-like shell that has the many features I've seen requested for other shells in the past. The reason I'm just announcing it now, in this later stage of development, is because of the large number of announced but incomplete shells for the CE. I didn't want to get people's hopes up without being able to deliver. With that said, here's what VYSION can do so far, and what's planned.
Features
-full filesystem: cut and paste files of all types into folders, and create new folders
-program running: all program types can be run and do not break the shell (including protected TI-BASIC programs)
-convenience: pin your most used programs to the taskbar, or put them on the desktop
-customization: change VYSION's wallpaper, change the colors of the menus and taskbar, make the taskbar transparent or centered, and more
Planned features
-shell locking: turn off the calc, and prompt for a password upon restart, then return to the shell
-themes: easily change the whole appearance of the shell with a few clicks
-hooks: press a key combo to start the shell
-backup: backup your RAM from within the shell
Screenshots
No mockups here, just actual operation of the shell.
