jumping mouse pointer sux.

Let's say I like to explore possibilities. changing the mouse pointer's color after click is a nice visual interaction that I haven't seen in other any other OS.

It probably is, but the purpose here is to show how useful it can be.

Also, you'll notice small dots separating those different applets.

Actually you can drag out applets to hide them and free some space on the titlebar or click the boingball on the extreme left to select Preferences and add any other applet(s) !

OK... seems like most guys dislikes the screenshots sent out by Hyperion so far. Why not make a poll on which default theme we would like to see shipped with OS4, right here on amiga.org and forward the results to Hyperion?

1. "Official" Hyperion GUI.
2. SimoAmi GUI.
