Coder's sick brains must have created those screenshots. Ugly fonts, , ugly textures, ugly colors and ugly icons :-)

Of course it was only for showing features...  

Maybe there should be a place on amiga.org where you can upload and download suitable textures and background images?

Having said this, I can already vividly imagine the comments about the new Intuition default look. If you ask ten people about how a good looking GUI should look like, you will get at least 12 different answers.  


That is true. We had a comparison between friends and the best ones were always our own ones. Even the one with AGA 256 coloured 640x512 hires-laced man said he has the best looking OS of us all :-)

I also think that MUI is unresponsive, especially under load.


I hope MUI will not be slow , and wouldn't be slow on a G4 AmigaOne or on MorphOS/Pegasos. Because:

- If I have understood correctly MUI is PPC native these days under MOS. So on a G3/G4 it should be much faster and responsive.
- RTG cards are ten times more powerfull than the fastest p5/voodoo cards we are used to
- New, better and faster hardware and buses should make a difference aswell

I myself have always liked MUI. On a PicassoIV and 060/60 I haven't found it THAT slow to use.
