By the way, Kent, how do you know this info?

Personal connection with SimoAmi and Matt Chaput as well as a fairly direct line with members of the Hyperion staff.  I haven't stated anything that isn't already public knowledge anyway.  SimoAmi posted on AO a few months back that he was offered to do some graphics for OS4 later saying that he would be working directly with Matt Chaput.  It's this damn photogenic memory I have I guess.

Not to mention, I got a 51% weirdness factor on the Amiga Purity test  :-P .

Once more they did ugly screenshots... I was hoping for something like the Dock screenshots.

These screenshots have meaning only to us Amigans, they show what excactly we want to know. That is fully configurable.

Once more we will be humiliated in the sites of slashdot, OS/News whateverPC site for the uglyness of our beloved AmigaOS (cause the thing they `ll see it`s ugly to their eyes, it can be excactly like their OSes but they don`t know it or consider that.)

Hello there people.......OS 4.0 was meant as a transition OS from one world to another......i get the impression that some of you think that OS 5.0 is about to be released....Well guess what.....IT'S NOT....THIS IS ONLY 4.0 and as far as I can tell it looks absolutely marvelous!! :-o

Some of you are making judgements  like it's 5.0........it's not!!

Cool. I like! I like options to customise things. It looks like I will not be disapointed.

Doesn't take much for you people to get excited :roll:

"I think it was ment to go like..."

Oops... good catch!  :-o

I'm sure everyone got the message.

@Kent

"Yup, SimoAmi is involved with designing some of the graphics to be used with OS4."

Sorry to burst any bubbles here but all of the OS4 desktop design work has  been done internally.

Mohamed (SimoAmi) and I have been in contact with Ben and Fleecy but haven't contributed in any formal capacity, apart from some wallpaper designs.

After nearly a decade of practically nothing, screenshots of a nearly finished OS4 is exciting to many of us.

Please keep it above the belt.

Nothing new from last I heard then, asside from Mohamed is not working directly with Matt.  Hmm, I'll have to double back and see where I mixed up that information...  Perhaps I confused some of Kevin's works with Mohamed's.  Oh well, thanks for the correction.  I know you and Mohamed do some awesome work, I especially like the soda pop image (using it now believe it or not).  Keep it up.

Argh!My eyes!
Obviously this is a coders desktop.;-)

Seriously it gives you an idea of what
the foundation is going to look like.

And I'm very pleased.Weeeeeeeeeeee!

:-D

Well, i dont like the images, but thats just my opinions on the users colour tasts. I do like the configurability. But hopfuly, when skinning is supported (OS4.2) you'll be able to place larger images in an exact position in the Window/WindowTitle and now have it repeat and shink-resize the title bar to fit your theme.... But, progress is being made.

What would be cool is if Hyperion worked on an IDE for AmigaOS. an IDE to develop not only native apps, but apps in DE. Maybe they'll be worked on towards OS5 (if my theory is right, AmigaOS will become the official development platform of AmigaDE... which would be cool)...

Anyway, nice shots...

[Rodney]

Stop being an arse, the Amiga has tons of software that'll run on it. PLUS i'm going to start coding for it the minute i get my hands on the updated DevCD.

Really, I'm OK with people wanting AmigaOS, or wanting MorphOS, both or neither, but I'm fed up with idiots putting down the operating system they chose not to use. You think its no use to you? Fine, well don't bloody use it then!

Ahhh Tickly, i think that was some light humour, calm down. After all, its not as if he was talking about yo mumma? <--- light humour

[Revener]

Ahhh!!!!  Nice.



Lite schysst jul mumma.......................

[spiffydinosaur]

That's nice! I like it far better than what I am using. It will be so cool to have a system that makes sense again.

Spiffy :-)  :-D  :-P

[Rebel]

Whoaa....Texture Overload. ;-)

I like the level of configurability shown.  Just about everything you could wanna change, can be.  

But  for me the most important thing is that this is no longer done with hacks and patches, but is built into intuition itself, so stability should not be an issue.

BTW I don't think that this is an advert for the masses seeing as Amiga don't intend to publicly launch OS4 until Cebit. This is just to keep US hardcore Amiga users happy

You are correct. And, if by masses you mean new computer users, then AmigaOS4 wont be marketed towards them.

Amiga Inc (as far as im concerned) know that the OS is lacking major functionality and applications. A product of its type is only marketable to Current AmigaOS users, Alternative OS Geeks, and past Amiga Users.

I think you could expect Version 5.0, to be marketed towards the type of people that haven touched acomputer before. But not likly before... (as in, its not likly, but at the earliest, OS4.5 or later)...
