AmiKit - good name man ;)

It's all looking great - certainly prettier than AmigaSYS; nice choice of icons and start-menu too, lol.  That brushed steel background on iBrowse is rather plush - I'll have to look into adding patterns to MUI once again ;)

Ooh, and you're using the latest AmiStart beta too; good to see my requests and suggestions aren't benefitting just myself! ;)  Hey, is that NiceBar running in the top left?

Your VisualPrefs theme (or is it Ken's?) needs a bit of work though - the magnifying glass pop-up gadget looks a little out-of-place ;)  I had a few problems remaking the OS4 theme for visual prefs, however this is what I eventually came up with, it's not perfect, but is reasonably close:



Anyway, I would offer to help test, but I've got enough things on my plate at the moment - looking for a new job over here, whilst working on preparations for a school festival!  I'm hoping to get a more polished AIAB update out the door at some point too.  One thing I would ask though is that you atleast credit me for any scripts or similar functionality borrowed from AIAB; I remember booting AmigaSYS for the first time and was more than a little cheesed off...

Well, good luck with the release! ;)

Cheers,
James

Yup, you should have recieved a reply ;)

Actually, one thing I overlooked to mention in the email was the idea of integrating AIAB and AmiKit; as I wrote, I don't have the time to spend on AIAB anymore, and would gladly pass on the project to someone with a similar interest in Amiga emulation and a flair for interface design.  AmiKit is the first Amiga distribution I have seen that looks visually appealling (ClassicWB is excellent, but doesn't really count, as this is more geared towards the classic Workbench desktop).

I'd be interested in the opinions of other Amiga folks...

Cheers,
James
