I like the new os4 screenshots...

the grey and metal brushed look is ok, the font engine is almost perfect, almost all the gadgets are good and the gradients are very nice.

But... you should expect it ! :-) A little lovely question ! :-D :-D

I would know if the icons, the gadgets and the other elements that aren't anti-aliased in the shots will be
smoothed so to reach a real consistent overall look ?

Hyperion ? Graphic designers ? Anyone ?

@ all

What do you like or not like from the actual shots ?

If I remember right I have recalled to have read somewhere that the icon technology of AmigaOS, in its actual state, don't let to do big improvements... :-(
(max 256 color ?)

@ mikeymike:

I guess a valid discussion point here is "should icons be anti-aliased?".

Well, I think so, at least if we want obtain a true consistent look... certain elements of the GUI are smoothed and others not. I like the glowicons but hope that they can be anti-aliased also if the look will be the same of today.

With RGBA icons the GlowIcons may have REAL glow

I will cross my 37 fingers  then...  ;-)

@ zudobug

That tells you something about how much I care about the look of it. I tend to agree that functionality is what I'm after. GUI effects like transparency are nice, but I'll spend most of my time browsing the web or coding. Focusing on what I'm doing rather than how I'm doing it.

I am not a GUI candy lover but if you can smooth the fonts and some gadgets, why can't you complete the job with all other elements of the GUI ?

At least to reach a omogeneus look... this is my point.

Anyway all of us take functionality at first place... or we had left the amiga world many years ago...  :-)

Alpha channel, save us all !!!
