Right

That mostly applies to opinion, though. Anyway, there's a press release on Hyperion's web site now, with screenshots of two new themes included with AmigaOS 4.1, both the rework of the original theme and one of the three new themes.

Congrats on OS4.1 going gold! Hope to be running it on some form of hardware one day.

New re-worked theme also looks quite cool... will you be including the original OS4.0 theme as an option too?

Alex.

There's four variations of the theme included, the one with the round corners, the other one with only a hint of roundness in the corners, the original OS4.0 theme, and a "narrow bar" 4.0 inspired theme

@nbache

Hard to blame people for questioning, the failing rate of announcements in Amigaland is quite high.

Also, somebody should make more AmigaOnes with a faster CPU. It's the only hardware licensed for OS4.

Eyetech were the only ones to hold such a licence.


Maybe someone needs to buy Eyetech and release AmigaOne SAM

Rogue must be pulling his hair out and thinking "why to I bother" by now. I'm tired of all the critics who haven't bought OS4 and probably never will. I've already put my money where my mouth is for OS4 and will do the same for 4.1 without reservations. My past experience with OS4 leads me to believe that they will make any necessary adjustments that actual purchasers.

Thanks for the continued work on OS4

Right... How much hair do you see here *points to picture on the left*

I've already torn it all out over the Classic version.

Are there any Amiga Dealers left in Canada? I am wondering who would be the quickest shipping to Ontario. Can't wait for 4.1

@ Rogue

Those little icons in the new listers, are they automaticly scaled down from the original big icons ? Or do the have to be added by hand to every program/program group ?

Thanks ! Great work, all of you

Martin

ps, So is there going to be a SAM port ?? For real ? Or dependent on the outcome of the court case(s) ?

He didn't confirm a SAM port, or a classic port. He did confirm there would be one, or other, or both, but he might have been joking. Who knows?
