OS4 GUI

[z5]

I was wondering...will all programs have the same GUI, meaning will all programs be converted to the reaction GUI now?

I remember that OS3.5 and 3.9 looked really messy because part of the tools (like the color window) were still based on the old gui.

Will programs like the new HDtoolbox, the tcpstack, all prefs and tools windows,... all have the same layout this time?

If i'm not mistaken, the screens released from HDprep looked to be based on the old GUI?

I'm rather glad they took Reaction (allthough it is not that important for me).

It's better to start with something that is already fast on a slow CPU. We don't want to fall into that windows trap: it's not fast, but give it a turbo this or that processor and it will run ok.

I hope that the attitude behind OS4 still is to make something so fast and elegant as is possible. And not to throw something at the cpu and hope that it will run fast because the cpu is fast. After all, this is what made the Amiga so awesome imo.

But then, i don't doubt that OS4 will be elegant and fast.  ;-)
