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!

The cavalry to the rescue?
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?
You're distorting my opinion, not even slightly. But in regards of the GUI system, yes I say so that outside pressure played a great part. It seems for Hyperion and the OS4 developers the GUI is a minor issue - and granted that the core developers consist mostly of coders, there is no surprise.
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.
I'd like to see OS4 to evolve into such a system I'd gladly use in parallel with MorphOS. What you say may apply to freeware stuffs, but not commercial projects. If you defy the target audience long enough, you lose customers. |
