Future AmigaOS GUI

I wonder. If you had CONTACTED HYPERION AND VOLUNTEERED TO MAKE A THEME instead of POSTING TO WEB FORUMS ABOUT IT, something would have happened.

Why not contact Hyperion instead of nagging and whining to US, the USERS?

That said, it looks ok. But I personally don't like the window gadgets.

I think it's safe to say that posting a couple of screenshots to amiga.org is not going to make Hyperion commit to anything. I dunno if SimoAmi has bothered to contact them properly, but from the looks of it, he hasn't. I again suggest contacting Hyperion about making a theme. At worst they say "sorry, you missed the deadline", but from what I hear I think this is in fact what's being worked on as a last-minute thing (well, you can't introduce a severe crash by frelling up the pixels in a gadget, can you? So it makes sense doing this while everyone is doing last-minute beta testing). At best they say: Ok, contact this-or-that person and he'll send you the template he's using for the themes.

Gee, come on. I think Hyperion would agree to this if asked _properly_. Stop talking to Hyperion through forums, send them an email like everyone else...

I second that. Put it somewhere where it can be browsed through. Collect them in one place, and we'll comment there. Much smarter than starting new threads here all the time :-)

Not really hinting, and no NDA here... Just applied a bit of sensible logic to Hyperions answer to some stuff written about the "default" look shown last weekend on OS4 on tour.

I seem to recall a mention to the effect that "OS4 works, but some last minute things need to be fixed, like more themes and a better default look"

But IANAL (I Am Not A Lexicon :-P), so I might recall wrong :-)
