New look for Icaros' AmiStart
« on: June 02, 2009, 01:46:04 PM »
There is a important update for Icaros Desktop users: new configuration files introduce heavy changes to AmiStart look & feel, which cover many aspects of the Icaros' toolbar, including, but not limited to:

- bar is half high than before
- bar doesn't follow screens when you open new ones
- bar now covers 95% of workbench width (formerly was 90%)
- labels are placed right to images
- Directory Opus now works in his custom screen, even with AmiStart working
- menus are graphically identical each others
- bar closes menu when clicking outside of it (à la Windows)
- ugly task icon has been replaced. The same will be for screens in the final revision
- new basic color (whyte with 45% transparency) allow better contrast with labels
- analog clock and memmeters are gone, replaced by a simple digital clock
- calendar has gone away, but can be easily restored (read what follows).



The new version can be downloaded from the Icaros website. Users of this AROS distribution are also encouraged to test the new look, and give some feedback.
