Writing a menu bar rom that will reflect the various states of the operating system. It's also the uxn instance that holds the network of connections of active varvara instances. It's nice to have all this stuff visible from within that uxn's own memory.

@neauoire this is a good start but needs sanity/blood meters

@neauoire do you intend for some roms to have the capability to change their window position and size on-screen at some point?

this rom seems like it would fit well as a bar on top of the screen

@kelp I'm not sure, I haven't found the right way to handle that kind of UX just yet. Any idea how this could be done in a nice way? I'd love for a window to request to be moved at the bottom of the window or something.

@neauoire
it could be implemented as a custom 'window' device that the menu rom would send DEO calls into.

There's enough space for x,y,width,height and probably some flags that would set if the rom's window can be moved or if there should be a border drawn around it or not

I'm not sure if this approach would be in spirit of porporo though

@kelp porporo has no custom devices at the moment, I'll try to see how far I can get without having to do make new ones.

@neauoire

maybe a file-based approach could work as well?

a rom could make a file in a specific folder within the sandbox named after itself, the information written there would give porporo guidance on how the rom should be treated in terms of window position and size
