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 47 of 56 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Olegil on 11-Aug-2004 04:38 GMT | In reply to Comment 14 (Emeric SH): Dude, the first screenshots were using a multitude of colours that didn't necessarily come together in an estethical way, JUST TO SHOW HOW MUCH COULD BE USER CONFIGURED. It was so early in the process that a proper design was not done, and everyone with half a head knew that the final result would only have the same configurability, NOT THE COLOURS. I say "half a head", because it doesn't take too much brains to read something that is clearly specified.
Now, some people STILL had to comment on the "choice" of colours rather than the set of functionality. I guess that's the "outcry" you think of. Well, know that a: those colours were never meant to be used in any public release, and b: they were never used either.
Now, don't let the door hit you on the way out. |
