The AmigaOS 4.0 Powerpoint presentation that was displayed in Montlaur on saturday the 5th is now available.
This document was displayed to the amigans in Montlaur, France last saturday. It is a snapshot of the work in progress on AmigaOS 4.0.
We hope this will help you understand what was realised, and what still needs to be done.
Please note that the list of PPC modules is growing everyday (and I mean everyday : This morning we received icon.library).
The file is available as a PowerPoint presentation (original file), a PDF file, and a set of JPEG images.
This is a french document, so please feel free to translate it.

French AmigaOS On Tour presentation available : Comment 43 of 70 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 07-Jul-2003 18:12 GMT | In reply to Comment 41 (itix): > You cant have more than 256 colors through current icon.library
The OS4 icons still suck, even in the context of these restrictions: 256 colors is quite sufficient (for small images), as long as you pick the 256 best colors for each icon. Regrettably, this is not how AOS4/GlowIcons were designed: they use a small shared palette. Instead of leaving remapping to the OS, the designer has built dithering into the icons. Now we can't get rid of it, regardless of having true color screens. For example, if an icon has a grey gradient, he didn't use 64 shades of grey but two or three shades and manual dithering (ie. a grainy raster to simulate more shades). |
