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 22 of 56 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Sammy Nordström on 10-Aug-2004 09:50 GMT | In reply to Comment 18 (Emeric SH): If you say that the AmigaOS4 project only makes progress because of the demand for more features on online forums (such as ANN.lu) and that the realization of such feature requests proves your theory, you're right. All the developers of the AmigaOS4 project is sitting on their arses all day long and we need the whining from ANN.lu trolls to get them going. That's how things get done, right?
Back to reality:
1. The looks are the same thing as with the features of AmigaOS4, they are improved on as the project makes progress. Of bloody course the first screenshots looked alot worse than they do today (duh!), future screenshots will probably look even better, regardless if people demands it or not.
2. Bugging the developers with what YOU think is important for THEIR development project is a) annoying, b) disturbing, and most importantly c) giving them a reason to NOT comply with your request. |
