AmigaOS 4.0 idea screenshots by DJNick

First of all it's good to hear that DJ Nick is still about, I used to enjoy the stuff that he sent in to Amiga Format.

I hate to sound negative here but I wasn't impressed with it. The actual window gadgets are just OS3.1 ones with a birdie pattern over it.  Sorry, but I think it looks messy.  Yes the OS 4 shots were total pants, but I don't think this is much better. Simoami's designs were great (although some stuff would break intution design and isn't feasible at the moment, an the icons aren't as good as glowicons)

Sorry for being negative :-(

Actually, Linux has already done it....And Windows XP allows you to paste an animation on your desktop as "web content". However, both ways I've mentioned made the system slooooow.

It's been a feature since at least Win98, but not worthwhile using.

The coolest thing I've ever seen was an Amiga playing a VideoCD as a backdrop without a hint of slowdown at last year's World Of Amiga South East show.  

Completely useless but waaay cool  :-D
