And this was from me.

BTW anybody know why Amiga.org doesn't auto log a registered user in?Doesn't it store a cookie
with your browser,ot is this a limitation with current Amiga browsers?

Sorry to go OT

Thanx guys... So at the top of the AmigaOS screen, what you think it will say?

Opus, or workbench...

That is, will Opus be the default workbench, or willthe original workbench be avaliable also?

At the moment, AmigaOS is kinda sounding like a patched up quilt :}.. which depending on how its done, is good or bad. However, i beleive Hyperion will integrate these features so they are core parts of the OS.

But, maybe these features should be uninstallable if one wishes to... Confusing... :}

I just hope all this doesnt slow the system down.

And just a clairifcation, ummm, what was it... Birdie, is kinda like umm... sawfish except it only has to manage the style of the border... This includes the title as well? - Sounds good, hope its integrated well...

Not sure.Guess we'll have to wait and see...

To be honest,you won't want to go back to the original Workbench once you've used the extra features
that Dopus allows.It has a lot of very nice additions,but you're not forced to use them all.And it's
highly configurable.

>I just hope all this doesnt slow the system down

No chance.OS3.9+Dopus+MUI+'a lot of 3rd party patches' is quick enought here(060@64mhz Voodoo3 3000)
It should be silky smooth and then some on a G3@600mhz

Birdie lets you change the colour of Workbench's window borders.You can use either images to do this or the
built-in definable gradients.Go here for an explanation :

I imagine it might look like Amiga in a Box or better.

Magic Menu transparency is just cool.

I am listening to the audio file and it seems around April the 10th some screenshots will be available.
