New Screenshots from AmigaOS 4

[System]

Yes, I must admit that the first screenshots weren't so impressive. But the next ones, especially this one - http://os.amiga.com/os4/OS4GUIPre.php?d=Screen3_P2.png - isn't so bad at all! Thank heavens they finally understood to do something about the ugliness of Reaction! It's now starting to look quite ok!  :-D The thing that bothers me the most in this screenshot (and in the others as well) is the window borders. Especially those close, size, minimize/maximize and scroll gadgets need a serious overhaul!

I mean that we lost, because it had many visitors then and those pictures were for laughing, especially for those that had no idea what AmgiaOS is

Your right there. People that do not know much about AmigaOS will regard those pictures (the first ones) as a good laugh. But also, these days people care more about a stable and good working OS then a OS that has a GUI that looks so nice but does run like crap.

:lol: If you could open two of them, you would have a "pair o' docks"...

I think the latest ones show AmiDock running on a 3.9 machine... hence no pretty OS4.0 intuition.ibrary...

(edit: actually, forget that, I've just taken another look at the screenshots and that does in fact appear to be OS4 Intuition - just in a very plain configuration)

The Dock sounds great on an uncluttered screen but how does it behave when an app or two is open. I mean what navigation tools does it have?

Thast was one thing that put me off the original concept of AmiDock... but check out the minimizer dockie!

The new Amidock screenshots are also mentioned on the BeOS resource site Bebits.

New Screenshots from AmigaOS 4 ...   :-D

As long as the system is stable, I can tinker with preferences, colours, backgrounds, etc.  to personalize the look of my Workbench.

Ive never noticed that AmigaOS's Icons had that shade (background colour) behind the titles. Is this a configuration option? I've always liked how it wasnt there, i hope the ability to have them not displayed is kept.

Nice shots, i didnt mind the colours that much. Remeber also, that OS4 wont look its prettiest till round 4.2 when skinning should be finished .

(Bebits mention)

Hmmmm... well there was a link earlier under "Headlines". It's definitely not there now! It was only a link to the OSNews article, but I thought it was nice to see a mention. Obviously someone else thought otherwise...

ok  :-)

Stefan Robl is an amazing programmer! Anyway, it sounds as if he's managing to incorporate some of the bells and whistles found in the Mac OS X Dock.

;-) AmigaOS has had the ability to show a background behind the icon text since version 2.0.  You could select the color for it with the font preference tool....

"Paradocks" lol I like it!

MorphOS :-D

ps.  if you have to use Windows XP and you like the MacOSX Dock,  download stardock its great!
