Desktop enviroment was not something I had in mind. Eg. theming (GUI etc.) options are limited, same for other prefs editors (some didn´t change in years).
Well to be fair, visible relics of past are also part of AmigaOS 4 (MEmacs, Picasso96Mode or IconEdit - still 68k application!).
Edit: I think we should start another thread about configuration options of various OSs. Or simply rename this one. Few OT posts about Hyperion bancruptcy can stay there. Last edited by pavlor on 17-Mar-2015 at 03:11 PM.

Well I am not really into the "gossip", anyway I guess you should discuss the thing in a proper thread then.

I don't think need that application for years. |
It is useable in WinUAE as I can set screenmodes not possible by tooltypes (320x200, 1680x1050 with 4 MB GFX RAM).

I know. Icon Edit was just an example of long neglected part of the OS. |

| Great to see AROS get so much attention, it seems now on level with what MorphOS used to get. Guess that means they're doing something right? :) _________________ B5D6A1D019D5D45BCC56F4782AC220D8B3E2A6CC |

actually when i tried to give a hand to djnick or whomever i looked at themeing of os4 and aros in comparison. it is very alike, for most part compatible. os4 contains some elements more but i dont remember what they were for, nothing particular afair, perhaps the start bar or what it is called. but window decoration is absolutely interchangeable. the problem with aros that has put me off from releasing skins, particularly an iff low color one for use on amiga hardware is problems in themeing menus, that make all effort vain, because i couldnt turn off transparency and adjust the borders. one small quirk, admittedly, that causes that there are almost no complete alternative themes for aros, at least for what i know. |

Whatever you tried to communicate with that, I don't get it. _________________ B5D6A1D019D5D45BCC56F4782AC220D8B3E2A6CC |

1. Well the point is now AROS supports (saimon69) have spent 52 pages; taking about how useless Hyperion, how you hope it go under, but you guess cannot even look yourself in the mirror and realize that AROS is as dead end.
2. It does not really matter if x64, x86, ARM, PowerPC. It is not the problem. AROS cannot compete with Windows, MacOSX or Linux, it want become the next Gaming OS, it will not become the next Network security OS, it will not become the next Desktop OS, not any of that.
|
1. There is, indeed, a little difference. Once nobody will spend a single cent on AmigaOS development, its sources will be simply forgotten (or leaked, more unwillingly open-sourced by a donor), AROS may be constandtlu furtherly developed thanks to its open source nature.
2. Nor AmigaOS will. Another difference here is that we're perfectly aware of this fact since... uhm... year 2002? We're keeping the platform alive as it is, because our primary goal is reiplementing the original API of AmigaOS no matter of its shortcomings. Trying to fix them is part of the fun.
The fun. That's the point.

that thread has atopic of it's own, releveant facts are now offtopic in this thread it seems. |
I never said that, if it's my posting you refer to.
I only compiled what I could from this thread into the other.
This thread [Hyperion Entertainment bankrupt?] is surely entitled to on-topic posts if they are made.
