MeepOS

Template:PBOS

**MeepOS** is a series of operating systems for the Meepgresh computer. It is based on BarOS and MacOS. This series of systems are different from Un Computer, as the Bikerola and pbPower series of processors are only made for Meepgresh and each version of MeepOS runs on different hardware, unlike UnbarOS where every system runs in constantly-evolving hardware. To unlock its releases, one must get enough points.

According to the About box, the BarOS line of systems was created by **Un Calculators**.

### Boot Menu

The Boot Menu is the menu that appears when the player opens the game. Unlike Un Computer's boot menu in the form of an Energy Star BIOS, Progresh's system select screen is in the form of a window with all releases of BarOS (including those that are not installed and those that are available in future updates, which are grayed out). Tapping one opens that version.

### Menu Bar

The Menu Bar is the main shell of every BarOS system, which replaces Begin Menu from Progressbar systems. It has 4 main buttons: the apple button, Game button, Store button and Help button. In the apple menu, you can check information about currently used system, access Filer and Settings, play Puzzle (or open Clock in Bar System 1) and restart the system. In the Game menu, you can load your existing save, start a new game and check Achievements.

Commands on the Menu Bar can change depending on the currently opened application. The whole Menu Bar looks similar to the taskbar in PB-DOS Shell.

### Filer

Filer is BarOS' alternative to ProgressDOS. Unlike ProgressDOS, Filer works in GUI mode. The application can be used to find Bonus.exe files and a majority of cheats.txt files. Files and directories can be deleted by dragging them on the Bin.

### Settings

Settings is found in the apple menu in every single Bar operating system. In the settings menu, you can change various game options and customize appearance of the currently used system.

### Puzzle

Puzzle is first unlocked in Meep System 2. It is similar to the sliding puzzle in Unbar Dista and Tallhorn, but instead of a 3x3 grid, it´s a 4x4 grid. Also, instead of pictures there will be just numbers. This is because it doesn’t have room for a color photo like in Dista or Tallhorn.

### Looks

There are different looks for Puzzle in BarOS systems.
In Meep System 2 to 6, the whole puzzle is black and white. In MeepOS 7 to 9, the puzzle is coloured. In MeepOS 10, the quality is high and the items are glossy. In MeepOS 10.II, many items are on a brushed metal background with shades. In BarOS 10.III and onwards, the puzzle takes on a more simplistic look.

### Shutdown Panel

The shutdown panel is used for closing the game and switching to another system. The shutdown panel can be accessed by going to the apple menu and choosing the Restart option. The Restart option will shut down the currently running version of BarOS, and will then return the user to the Boot Menu. The Shutdown option will play the shutdown sound and then show a black screen with a window that reads "It's now safe to turn off the game". The safe to shutdown screen looks similar to that of Unbar TNT 4.0.

### Un Ambulance

When you get a BSOD, you can use this tool to fix errors in your progress bar by playing a minigame. You have to tap the Scan button. Currently, this is the only utillity in BarOS.

### Store

Store works the same as it does in Progressbar systems. You can spend real life money to purchase upgrades. The minimum buyable upgrade is called "Progressbar Ad Free" for USD$1.99, which removes ads, while the maximum buyable upgrade is called "Progressbar ∞" for USD$23.99, which removes ads and unlocks all current and future skins.

### Clock

Clock is an application which displays the current time. In Bar System 1, it can be opened by selecting the Clock command in the apple menu. Clock will then appear on bottom-left part of the screen. Starting with Bar System 2, the Clock is on the right part of the Menu Bar.

### Cursor

*Main article: Cursor*
The Cursor is a graphic showing where the mouse is located. On PC it is activated by default and on Mobile it is optional and intended for external mouses. And this sound is played whenever you click on something:
File:Click.mp3

### Window animations

Since the alpha of the July update (0.8010), the animations of windows in BarOS prior to MeepOS 10 will show a black outlined rectangle zoom up and show the window. In MeepOS 10 and onward and P@@pmeep, the window will pop up and squeeze a bit, the latter as if were jelly, except for in UN Jams.
### Differences between UnbarOS and MeepOS

* The way to play Unbar is different from BarOS, but they have the same goal: to fill the progressbar. However in MeepOS 12, the Tag game mode is included.
* BarOS has Filer, which is not in Progressbar, but UnDOS is in it.
* Begin button, game mode names, Message, Clippy, BSOD and more are different than in Progressbar.
* The BarOS is new, while the first Unbar systems are from the beginning of the game (0.21)
* Boot menus are different.
* A pair of other buttons including in MeepOS: About, Filer etc.

## Editions

*Main article: Editions*

## Trivia

* Bortosimo in EpicAlexisMaxwell's post "What do you think the "Mac" will be called?" gave a suggestion for the name of the macOS-styled systems before they were even announced at that time: BarOS. It turns out that he was spot on.
* Pyrus Pyrifolia is the scientific name for Asian Pears, that look like an apple.
* The idle cursors in BarOS 10 to 13 and H@ckgresh are similar to that of the Black Progressbar 1X/11 cursor.
* The safe to shutdown screen is different to other systems, alongside Progressbar NOT 4.0. However, instead of the night sky window with bat icon, it is a Progresh sleeping with Z's on top of him. It looks like the Z's are similar to that of those when Bin is sleeping. In BarOS 10, 10.II and H@ckgresh, the Z's are moved to the centre of the Progresh's screen, have minus signs in between and has a exclamation mark at the end. In BarOS 10.III, the Z's are gone, and a pBar 65 with closed eyes replaced the pBar 64.
