You're not thinking of something like Cairo Dock. That differs too much
It would not be usable in this context.The fix I have is all the way back in AREXX on the*Amiga*
With that you could control menus and it would be (not) trivial to write your own Universal menu interface and control it from the AREXX device in your programs. For that you'd need to program a AREXX daemon for your OS and a universal menu interface that you control from your programs through the AREXX daemonAre you up for that work?

I also found a copy of the ARexx User’s Guide for the Amiga. I’m almost tempted to read it and see how much of it I remember of it.
The first version of the 2D platformer Blutti was actually written in ARexx for a BBS system. So it was entirely in ASCII, the player character was an ampersand.
Sadly, I can’t find any copy of it anymore, but it might be out there on a backup of someone’s BBS. It would be fun to see if I could remake some of the levels in the new version.

Kleine Bastelei am Abend... Multiboot Script... dauerhafter Start anderer Systemversionen... setzt die Bootprioritäten, passt die Laufwerksnamen an, generiert Variablen... realisiert in ARexx mit RAChoice...

@mathr Hi! glad to find someone who spent time tweaking #octamed :) i have been collecting and studying #AREXX scripts to find new ideas - am converting them to #LUA for #renoise and your idea sounds interesting, do you have a direct aminet link or sourcecode i could take a look at? I have added dozens of features from #PlayerPro #octamed #protracker #impulsetracker #pollytracker #modplugtracker #openmpt #madtracker etc into my add-on for Renoise, #paketti. Always looking 4 more.

Spaß am Amiga...
Wir schreiben uns ein paar ARexx Scripte zum Starten und zu Benachrichtigungen von YAM mit ein paar komfortablen Optionen zur Auswahl...

I was probably screwed by the fact that #ARexx was mainly used to create scripts to pilot other programs supporting this feature, which also, for the times, was something amazing.
With an ARexx script it was possible to send a message to a text editor, receive the current text, process it as you like, and send it back.
The ARexx script could even communicate with multiple applications simultaneously!
In that days, unfortunately, I simply ignored ARexx for no reason. . . -
Recently I started to read a book about #ARexx, the #Amiga version of the #Rexx language.
I'm unable to understand why I underestimated this language for no reason because ARexx has very advanced features for the time.
One feature that impressed me are the compound variables, something like arrays, but much more evolved and in some ways they remind me #LUA tables.
If any #Amigans has ignored ARexx like me, I highly recommend taking a look at the docs that you can now find anywhere.

@dpiponi Couldn't agree more! The big reason I think is that a LOT of the operating systems and platforms we use are designed to maximize profit rather than create a great user experience.
There's no reason at all why EVERY application ever written can't say "Hi I need a text box please" which would then make a call to the generic text box maker. You like Neovim? Great! You get that. Want Sublime/VSCode/Emacs/whatever? No problem. You get that instead. Don't care and just want a generic textbox? You get the default. No problemmo.
It really could be that easy. We've even gone a long way towards doing things like this before.
Just ask anyone who ever used #AREXX back on the #amiga. But heck, we can't even get the tiniest bit of standards or agreement in the open source community!
Each Linux desktop flavor has its own varying degrees of abandoned scriptable component framework, but nobody bothers with them because they're all radically different.

TIL AmigaDOS got AREXX because IBM bought something from Commodore for OS/2...

Ok, I wrote an #AREXX script that uses a #WiFi232 modem to grab the current time from NTP and sets the #Amiga clock. First time in almost 25 years since I wrote something in AREXX!

Has anyone made an #AREXX script to set the clock on a #Commodore #Amiga at startup via a WiFi modem, such as the #WiFi232?
