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 36 of 56 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Emeric SH on 10-Aug-2004 12:18 GMT | In reply to Comment 35 (Don Cox): "I do not think it is a good idea to fill the Amiga up with icon images taken from other platforms. It would be better to have unique designs found only on Amigas."
I fear, just as we don't have enough developers, we simply don't have enough capable graphicians to "do the job". The PNG icons are widespread, easy to use, very attractive - and readily available. |
