>The MUI arrow gadgets (yikes!)

Well that's one main problem. However the
MorphOS team is working on this, it just needs a bit
more work to get around of all old limitations.

>and the placement of the of the window gadgets

Well as you know, that's just one of many skins (I
personally don't like this skin too). However the
screenshot was more meant to show the new
functionality.

I'm almost sure that Hyperion won't have access to
all enhancements Genesi made to MUI.

As I said. I doubt that Hyperion has access to the
MorphOS codebase.

Yes I know. IIRC back at that time the MUI cvs server
was even down and not available...

As I said they might have access to the latest MUI
source code but as I also said I'm almost sure that
they don't have access to the enhancements the
MorphOS team makes.

Ok, I try to explain it again. You are of course right
that MUI is "just" a library. However there are parts
of MUI that have been enhanced by the MorphOS
team and all of them will of course only be available
for MorphOS.

>So im guessing a few people (including hyperion)
>could have access to the sources.

Sure but only of the parts that don't have any code in
it that has been added by the MorphOS team or has
been licenced to Genesi exclusively.

You get what you pay for. Pay less get less. Pay
more, get more. That's business.
