New Screenshots of OS4

[Ponos2D]

Bastards! They killed KennyR :-D :-):-D

I worked on both A4000 with CSPPC and OS4,
and it looked good!

There are allways unsatisfied people, and that
is normal!

But sorry guys, I have to say this - the GUI layout still sucks, new skin or not.

Well... you're obviously in the minority. Most people seem to really like it, so I think it seems to have achieved its goal of "pleasing most of the people, most of the time" :-D

Hi Kenny,

It is always going to come down to personal opinion in the end.

I've got to say I like the new look, especially with the font Anti-Aliasing  :-)

>Most people seem to really like it

I think the real world test will be in this thread. ;-)

[xeron]

Yeah, but OS4.0 isn't for the REAL world... that would be, what... 4.2, 5.0? ;-)

I am one of the few here who like the Windows 9x appearance then. Although AmigaOS is a far superior OS I find Workbench a bit cramped... this new design doesn't look any more spacious. Also very simple things in Windows, such as a grey border around title bars, makes a big difference in clarity...

To me Shot 4 looks the best imho.

Still 3.9 icons??? They're fine but...

I agree that the gadgets look good still being Amiga-ery.

Well done HP, I am far from disappointed.

Some screenshots with a much better image quality have been uploaded!

The new images have a 1024x786 resolution in PNG format.

Have fun.  :-D

I would prefer the input boxes this way:

Also, what is not shown in the shots is that you can impose the gradients onto a texture, that is you could have a gradient covering the metal texture like the one in the background.

that sounds like what you can do in linux. very cool!
I love "Kickstart version 50.1"

;-) I like the anti-aliased fonts.  I notice also that MUI has a setting for menus, now.  The window gadgets are a little 2-D for my taste, but other than that, it looks a lot like my own highly customized Workbench® screen.

Can I be honest, speaking as a private skeptic?

I don't see anything here I did not see with OS 3.9.  

But, honestly, I didn't expect to either.

Is this bad?  Not at all.  

It appears to be running, and that's a step in the right direction.

[Argo]

I'd love to see it, but it looks like AW is choking on a hairball. Can't find module errors on everything.

[DanDude]

Man, I can't wait to get OS 4!!

 :-)

[fleg]

Enough already with the brush metal look. I want pink marble dagnabit!!  :-D

The text looks great but let down by the roughness of the gadgets and other GUI objects.

Even after a decade the grey still looks drab and the blue weak.

Hyperion know that 99.9% of all sales will come from the present Amiga community and try to reasure it. But they are reassuring by suggesting nothing has changed since OS3.9.

IMHO this should have been kept as a 'OS3.9 look' skin to be used for existing software.

To me and it seems others the true face of the Amiga is the boing ball and the colours of the original Amiga.

Above all I think the community needs to know that the Amiga OS is vibrant, exciting and colourful once more.
