Darius Brewka released v.063 of AmiStart. AmiStart is a Windows-like startmenu and quick-launch bar with drag&drop support and a very customizable GUI which allows transparency, rounded edges, background-patterns and much more. In this new version, AmiStart now also provides so-called Shape-Layer, which are customizable and programmable Skins for controlling external applications via Arexx. (For examples there's a cool looking skin for Songplayer available already). Read more about the new AmiStart website powered by GFX-BASE. We have created a website for AmiStart, which is now hosted at GFX-BASE, where you can now download exclusively the new version of AmiStart and a new Songplayer Skin, have a look at some screenshots annd check out the new features. You will find the link to the AmiStart website at the navigation on the left ('hosted sites').

In reply to Comment 6 (NARR):
>Have you tried AmiStart? It does not seems so. Otherwise you would know that >Amistart provides a launchbar, which does exactly this. I can't stand >that "Oh, remindes of Windows in any way? Then it must be crap". Even Windows
ummm, wrong end of stick mate. i said the start bar was one of
the worst features of windows. i didnt praise the good parts
of windows because this is an Amiga page and Windows advocacy
has its own place
>got some nice features, we can learn from that. We can also learn from >MacOSX, Linux and BeOS.
of course we can!! but PLEASE let us only 'clone' the good parts!!
>I personally very rarely use the Startbutton in AmiStart. Did you have look >at the latest AmiStart screenshot on the AmiStart website? Probably not - >have a look, then you can judge.
of course i looked at the new screenshots....had to see the new alpha
stuff :-) I've used an older version of amistart. Personally my system
is decked out with programs i need to run either in tools menu or
on the workbench (like a DIY person...all tools out on the bench!)
and i use magicmenu - so dont need to go to top of screen to
launch the menus
