I made some important progress here. Please look at this screenshot.

Ken Lester is helping me and the new look we're giving to VmwAROS is awesome.

@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.

The AROS Homepage has fairly regular status updates covering much of the progress! Last on was OCt 22nd.

And The AROS Show has a bit more information and more regular!! When hes not too busy!  :-)

I wish they integrated MWB instead :)

There are lots of MWB icons on Aminet and the original package is of great quality.

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.
