Morphos claims to be ready for legal action : Comment 103 of 155 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Jacek Piszczek on 03-Sep-2002 17:36 GMT | In reply to Comment 79 (Amifan): >Are you so eager to get me on something that you forgot the
>whole "based on AmigaOS3.x sourcecode".
Sorry, Amifan. Please add this to my previous post:
5) they release WindowsXP SP34 with a default theme based on
intuition, gadtools and reaction sources. it has nice Amiga-looking borders,
sysiclass images, gadtools/reaction buttons. it even has an optional
screen titlebar with (unused;) screen depth gadget and menus looking
just like MagicMenu. they port AmiDock and add coloricons support to
Windows Explorer that has a lot of functions hidden and disabled to preserve
the orginal Amiga "look and feeling". you can even use your old 4 color mouse
pointer!!!
So much for "based on AmigaOS code" ;)
Anyway. The "look and feeling" of AmigaOS is really intuition's gui style
(which reaction imo doesn't fit) and handling of windows, gadgets.
The argument that AmigaOS4 preserves the old look isn't very good imo.
Only a few people now use a completly original looking intuition. Almost
everyone have some patches that change sysiclass images,
add patterns to window frames, etc. And AmigaOS4 screenshots remind me a
patched (*not* original) intuition. Sure, it's nothing bad, but please don't
say that os [x] preserves the original look and os [x] doesn't. Aros doesn't
preserve it, MorphOS doesn't preserve it and AmigaOS4 (as far as I can see on
public screenshots) also doesn't preserve this ;)
AmigaOS4 isn't really closer than MorphOS also in "the feeling"! Personaly I never feel
the difference when booting back to AmigaOS from MorphOS.
What's most important is that handling of windows, gadgets, menus, etc
is almost exactly the same as in original intuition. Please don't tell me that
there won't be any differences in that between AOS3 and AOS4. |
