My review of Pegasos+MorphOS

[Warface]

As promised I've made my review of the Pegasos after 6 days of experience. Sorry, it's in hungarian, but a), the pics are nice, b), I'll try to make an english one soon :-)

Review

Actually I used the 68K sgrab, but the rest is the same :-)

1> I see in a grab the icon preferences. Is there an amiga style, selection effect? (change the icon when is selected)

I'm not that experienced user of MorphOS, but you can use all "older" icon formats (original, magicwb, fantasticwb, newicon, glowicon etc.) which has 2 phases. It's not impossible that the MorphOS icons can have 2 phases, yet I only saw 1 phase+effect icons. Maybe a more experienced user can tell you the exact answer.

2> Can MorphOS have AmigaOS style right mouse button menus? (not only pop-up) Its in the system that choice or with an add-on utility (magic-menu maybe)?

When you click the right mouse button in the screen bar you get the usual Amiga menus, and in addition, magic-menu seemed to work when I tried it out. (I only used it for a few minutes though, I was just experimenting with programs)

I have made a hasty translation in the evening (dawn, to be precise), it's available at:

Review in english

Sorry for my poor english in advance :-)

The software bootup could be less because now I see the MorphOS boot logo too. If I turn this off the software boottime would be a bit smaller than the 2-3 seconds of now.
(only, how to turn it off :-?:-))

Find the drawer with the ahi and the two cgx icons.  One is cgxmode, and you need the other one. I can't remember the exact name of the option, but it must be there.

Hi Warface,

Nice review :-)

You´ll do a review for OS4 too?

Spidey

If I'll have the money for AmigaONE by then, or if it comes out for the Blizzard. If not, someone else here will surely make a review, I'm not the only article writer here :-)

Please stop making ugly screenshots

I promised here on amiga.org to make a review when I get my peg. 5 days is not much time if you take into account that I worked 10-12 hours a day - and had only a few hours to play around with my peg. I haven't even touched the default look of the MUI part. Had no time for something like that.
Give me a few months and I'll have a more decent desktop. Besides, today I've managed to start UAE MOS :-)

[Warface]

As to the bootlogo removal: Go to Prefs drawer, then CyberGraphX, then the Tooltypes tab and there BOOTLOGO.

Start UAE with the parameter "-h". It will list all available commands. (Yesterday I've managed to get UAE running :-))

Never the less, your mockup was very nice. Connecting window/mui themes into one theme was already discussed on the beta2 mailing list, however I can't recall anything related to MUI abilities. Maybe you 'd better tell it directly to the developers. I'm sure they will listen to you, if it's not already implemented in the next update.
