Future AmigaOS GUI

[z5]

@SimoAmi:

I for one had always hoped that you would be the one to do the new OS4 theme. Seems they chose someone else (the mysterious person we don't know).

Quite frankly, in the 4 screens that were published now, i can't see any work of a graphics artist (unless you call texturing backgrounds and window bars with the classic dull grey MWB pattern work of a graphic artist).

It's quite sad.

@Teotwin:

That screenshot just looks AMAZING (that background is wonderful). This looks so much better than the official new look. I really like the 'stripe' texture (i use it on my website too) as background for windows and menus. Far better than that ugly, old looking brushed metal texture OS4 will be using.

This is simple, yet so much nicer to look at. Do you have any other mockups (with more windows, Gui)?

Why don't you guys start a website with ideas, skins, backdrops,... If i buy OS4, the first thing i will do is put a design from you guys on it.

@Tickly:

I was thinking about the visual aspect. For using it, there need to be more screens and indeed that "all in one super gadget" is not a good idea.

But at least he is an artist. The default OS4 (allthough Matthew from Zeoneo did say that it was not finished and that time was too short for the demo) looks extremely dull, boring, outdated. Indeed, they have succeeded in what they were trying to do: make it look like an Amiga. (from which the last official GUI look is from 1992 or so).
