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 9 of 56 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Hans-Joerg Frieden on 10-Aug-2004 08:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 7 (Emeric SH): > Maybe it's time to pay someone for the same in OS4 and finally BLOODY integrate
> PNG icon support?
You don't know if Mason is paid or not, so please refrain from such statements.
PNG Icon support is achieved via PowerIcons. It won't go further than that, period. PNG icons are all nice but as Don already pointed out, icons should be recognizable in the first place; the number of colors is pretty much irrelevant. If you want them to look colorful, add PowerIcons (and yes, I do use it myself). |
