There was no problem installing mui3.9 here. I choose update mui 3.8 and it deleted some obsolete files telling me they would cause problems and installation finished successfully. It's just that it gurus here when I try to launch something mui related.

Same here, its not working at all.

It works on a clean 3.9 A1200 setup I have.
It bothers me with the annoying beta message very often

I think there is an env variable that might disable that (I saw it from SnoopDos). Something like "iknowitisbeta".

I'll try it on a clean OS install on a spare partion I have.

Thanks, I will try that.

Great news !

All we need now are simple tutorials like an idiots guide as the official ones are too complicated or missing info eg setup guide.

Also tutorials that create complete programs.

Amos came with 100s tutorials thats why it is popular.

Can we create MUI GUI during runtime ? dynamic controls ?

Why not view window class? (MUI 3.9R2)

Does anyone know how to post a comment here:

Anyone ever get this working under 3.9?  Any major improvements?  I'm thinking "make a full system backup and then try installing it", lol.

I had the beta version installed in a rather wonky/broken setup I had previously.  Now that I have a working snapshot, I think I'm going to try updating to it again.  I'll make a valiant attempt tonight and see how it goes.

Do we know if it includes some more patterns, features?  I've tried looking for these, but haven't had much luck in finding the differences between 3.8 and 3.9.  

Also, as others have said, a guide would be nice.  Seriously, MUI has a billion settings it seems, I also have noticed that it seems each application uses it's own settings, rather than the attempt at a global one I created.

I've been trying to find some other patterns to use for it as well, but without much luck.

P.S. on a more technical note, which is better performance/memory wise, pngs or iffs?

I also have noticed that it seems each application uses it's own settings, rather than the attempt at a global one I created.

*This* drove me crazy.  After poking around for a while a while back I did find an option for something like "reset settings to default".  Had to first set up the options I wanted in the main MUI Prefs program, then load each offending app and fix them.  I think I found it by right-clicking on the page headings, will try to scratch it up again and give better instructions if you can't find it.
 
 Also a changelog between 3.8 & 3.9 would be nice!  :hammer:
