New OS4 screenshots

There are some more OS4 Screenshots from Hyperion for you to check out here.    There appear to have been quite a few tweaks to the default style.

Wow.  I really like the look.  I can't wait to get my A1 G4XE (from Livewire Systems.  I'm eager to find out when OS4 will be available for the A1s.

Glad to see they got rid of those horrible greens and browns at last and those awful background pics. Maybe they dropped the "support for colour blind people" at last then. ;-)

Very nice!  Can someone with more artistic skills than myself knock up a nice MorphOS and/or GTK2 theme? ;-)

Well as far as looking like classic work bench, they are doing a good job, looks like classic programs are running pretty well too.

 Can't wait to see how far you can take the looks though.

Um...no offence Nate, that's not what I mean. I refer to this comment on ann.lu:

If you see what kind of considerations came into play when designing the current default appearance (colorblind people for instance), they you'd understand that there is more, much more to UI design than aesthetics.

;-) Now, this is shaping up into something sharp!

:-) In the first shot, some of labels in the windows have underscores under one letter.  This suggests that it will be possible to navigate through the window, activating gadgets, etcetera, with the keyboard, instead of having to switch to the mouse repeatedly.  This was one area where Windows® had a feature that AmigaOS didn't.  Now it seems that it does.  This is a welcome addition.

The drop down arrow looks a little awkward, but it's probably one of the details still to be addressed.

Also, the brushed metal is gone from the windows, but it remains on the dock, where it looks good.

The title bar has a shadow, it seems.  Or maybe that's part of the background image.  Either way, it looks good.

:-) In the second, there are icons in the prefs drawer for new features: AmigaInput, Asl, DefIcons, USB, etc.  PartitionWizard looks impressive: uncluttered and easy to use.

:-) In the third, the NotePad and SnoopDos windows are hanging off the edge of the screen.  Directory Opus (version 4?) is running in a window, and making use of the new anti-aliased fonts and system gadgets.  It's also showing the contents of a "kickstart" drawer at the root level of the boot partition.  Ram Disk: has only two drawers now instead of the current three.  Interesting stuff, here.

:-D All in all, this is impressive, and I'm eager to get my hands on a copy!

To be honest I like these clean ones much better than those with that brushed steel bg. Is it a dream that they will get rid of that mac like brushed steel pattern completely? :-) (I mean AmiDock)

Much better: resembles strikingly to OS3.1 yet feels much more modern. A move in the right direction I say :-)
