Kas-Os is a lightweight CMS that lets you easily create and manage a website through a minimalist interface, inspired by the look and feel of Windows XP.

1. Download Download the kas-os.zip archive from the latest release.
2. Unzip and Copy
   • Unzip the kas-os.zip archive.
   • Copy all files to your server, including hidden files such as /.htaccess and public/.htaccess.
3. Initial Setup
   • In your browser, go to: http://yoursite/admin.
   • Create your user account.
   • Start adding and managing your content.

• Content Structure From the admin interface, you can create folders, text files, and links. The structure shown to end users will match what you configure in the admin panel.
• File Uploads You can upload images or audio files to include in your pages or make them available for download.
• Hiding Items Any file or folder whose name begins with an underscore (_) is hidden from non-logged-in users. This allows you to work on drafts or store resources (images, audio, etc.) without making them publicly visible.

On the settings page, you can customize:

• The site title
• The wallpaper color
• The wallpaper image and its display mode (stretch, tile, center, etc.)

Tip: You can also replace the default icons by modifying the following files in the public/icons/ directory:

• audio.png
• directory.png
• image.png
• link.png

By default, Kas-Os sorts folders and files from most recent to oldest based on their last modification date. To define your own display order, rename your items so that their names begin with a number followed by an underscore (_). For example:

• doc.md
• chat.jpeg

become:

• 1_chat.jpeg
• 2_doc.md

You can use either positive or negative numbers. In ascending order, items prefixed with negative numbers (e.g., -1_) will appear before those with positive numbers. The numeric prefix (e.g., 1_, -1_, etc.) is hidden from the end user.

If you forget your password or wish to reset it, manually delete the accounts.txt file on your server. The next time you visit http://yoursite/admin, you will be prompted to create a new account.
