Fun with MorphOS

Regarding Ambient we are interested to know how it could be made better :-)

@r-tea

The latest Ambient builds have an option to emulate Workbench mode.
Edit Advanced.conf in SYS:Prefs/Ambient and uncomment line having

autosort = false

This option might get into main prefs too.

System info in screen title bar doesnt really belong to Ambient and I
dont see any reason why this should be limited to Ambient screen only.
It is better done at Intuition level, maybe by expanding title bar
clock. Or you could install MCP :-)

Nightly builds have debug enabled. To get rid of debug one must change debug flag in source code (config.h) and recompile.

Thanks for the info, itix! I think i'll better get 1.43.0 CVS instead then. Is it advisable to install that also on the Powerup version of MOS?

Honestly I dont know. It is probably better than ancient Ambient SE on MorphOS CD - more features and less bugs. It is just that nightly builds have even less bugs and more features at expense of debug stuff.

Btw where you got your nickname?

Could you add AmigaOS3.9 like shortcuts?

What is AmigaOS 3.9 like shortcut?

I noticed that this often freezes the whole system if I try drag an icon precisely (a couple pixels only). I'll put it on the Bugtracker soon.

Hmm... for these kind of things we need a debug log...

MUI4 files are installed inside MOSSYS drawer. That is, MUI classes go to MOSSYS:Classes/MUI, libraries go to MOSSYS:Libs and so on.

You dont have to touch MUI 3.9 files at all. Some 3.9 files are obsolete but having them on the disk doesnt hurt either.
