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 8 of 56 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 10-Aug-2004 07:42 GMT | In reply to Comment 7 (Emeric SH): I'm sure PNG icon support will be added, but if I remember right new icon library (as well as new workbench) will be released in OS4.1 or something like that.
Those icons really are not the most important things to improve right now.
And there already is excellent native PowerIcons for the OS4, so you can use PNG-icons if you wish. I'm sure people are wery happy with PowerIcons. When hyperion have enough time to make new icon system for the OS4 we can then start using it.
There is lot's of MorphOS users too who still use PowerIcons. they use it because they don't like current unfinished Ambient, and because they use m68k Workbench which does not support PNG-icons directly. So for them it's exactly the same situation as for the OS4 users. |
