What do "21st Century icons" look like?

I quite like the new OS4 screenshots.  They're not super-exciting admittedly, but then come on!  This is the Amiga community we're talking about!  The amount of bizarre themes you guys use, why do you care?  You're going ot customise it, just like I will!

I just hope OS4 is as responsive as its predecessors.

@ SimoAmi

I said before, URL your images.  Please don't make me ask again.  Some people still have to use modems.

this topic is about *graphical* user interfaces...


So maybe you ought to send in your comments on uncompressed bitmaps?  That would surely help wouldn't it?

If you're posting significantly-sized images, URL them.  If people are interested, they'll check out the URL.

@ teotwin

My intention was not to be offensive, if anything mildly sarcastic, pointing out that it doesn't matter what the thread is about.

I was purposefully not exactly defining image file size, I'm still kind of hoping that common sense would prevail.  At least it seems common sense to me to not force people to download the same images over and over again when they've seen them before.  There I am wondering why my bandwidth disappears for ages downloading the first page's 'screenshots' when I've seen them a hundred times already.

Your post on page 4 is more sensible than posting the full-size image, and thank you for the effort.  It would probably be less effort to URL the picture though :-)

There is a reason for the a.org messaging [img] tag, but the reason is not a modem DoS tool :-)

@ NewRevolution

Good idea.  I've created a category for this:
