Campaigning for the updating of the Workbench look, a new Queens Bits article traces the look of the Amiga interface from 1.3 to now. Profusely illustrated.
The official newsletter of the Queens Amiga Users Group ceased regular publication in the summer of '99 and there have been precious few articles published in the interim. Advocating a more up-to-date, professional-looking Workbench (along with accompanying OS4 applications), club president and former Queens Bits editor, Lou Vidal, has penned an appeal for a new look in the Amiga interface that can proudly hold its own against all the other OSs out there. Check it out on the QAUG website. Examples illustrating the development of Workbench from 1.3 to the future abound. Also make plans to see the ongoing demos of OS4, various machines, and sundry gadgets & goodies at our August meeting this Saturday, the 14th, starting at 11:30 am. Be there!

Exclusive Online! A New Queens Bits Article! : Comment 19 of 56 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Gareth Knight on 10-Aug-2004 09:16 GMT | In reply to Comment 18 (Emeric SH): Early screenshots were created to demonstrate the new features, not to show off the pretty icons (which were the standard OS3.x ones). It was always stated that OS4 icons would be created at a later stage). If you look at Bill McEwen's press release from April 2002, he states:
"Amiga has thus asked our partners at Hyperion to provide us with a set of screenshots to show off some of the upcoming features, and this will become a regular event as we seek to highlight particular aspects of our future offering."
Rather than wading through the Amiga site, you can look at most of the early screenshots (if I can actually post html on ANN without messing up) here. |
