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').

GFX-BASE: New version of AmiStart released and AmiStart-website : Comment 8 of 11 | ANN.lu |
Posted by alan buxey on 21-Sep-2002 10:23 GMT | 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 |
