AROS going for Kens icons
« on: October 30, 2008, 11:42:59 AM »
There is alot of things going on with AROS. USB massstorage by the best Doctor in the world, Dr Schulz.(Please don't leave AROS) and a hole range of other projects is moving fast forward.

I just thought I post this about the icons because this may not be the biggest structural thing but it made me very glad. It will make AROS very much more Amiga. The surface and the impression is equally important as the under the hood mechanics.

Thanks everyone on AROS you are great.

They don't update the news so much with the on going interesting things that's discussed in the forums.
That's why I couldn't constrain my self from writing this post.

@Lorraine

To run an Amiga OS natively on a PC using it for everyday tasks with backward compatibility, that is appealing to me.

Have seen them on a blue background and it looks very nice.

AROS is bound to have an icon changer in the future. A god thing would be if screen shots of the packs could be uploaded here.


http://www.amiga-look.org/

and a link to the pack, so you could browse the icon packs. Aminet is invaluable but you have to manually test out the icon packs.
As for the “standard  icons” on AROS I feel Kens is a good choice. They feel like a continuation to me.

With an icon changer you could go for a retro look with both menus windows and icons.
