These new multi-coloured Workbench screens are so ugly. An operating
system isn't supposed to look like some 5yr olds lego box.
I prefer the subtle marble effects of MagicWB and I like the way they
have a 3D feel to them so when you click them you notice the
difference.
All these borderless, flat, garish NewIcons/PNG icons are so confusing
to look at and really I think people will get fed up of them and go
back to minimalist productivity.
I think the more creative someone's desktop is the less creative their
actual computer use is. Unless you spend all your time showing off
your desktop?
The best Workbench I think I saw was at WOA '97. The Phase 5 PPC
boards were running the "Bill Gates Gets Pied.mpg" as a backdrop.
:-D :-D :-D
Why can't we have icons that look more Amiga and less Windows XX. I
think those little flat icons are horrible. All of them.
Maybe we should even try making 3D icons that have different
icon-tootypes on each surface of a cube!
:-o
