Default AmigaOS4 Icon Set Revealed

Posted by timothy on from the age-appropriate-and-very-work-safe dept.

Mike Bouma writes "A new screenshot showing OS4's default icon set by Martin 'Mason' Merz has been revealed. Also Q&A session 27 with Amiga's CTO Fleecy Moss is now available. Hyperion, Eyetech, AmigaWorld.net and many more exhibitors will attend the upcoming AmiGBG fair in Sweden." I also like the fantasy Amiga linked to from the Q&A session.

    The AmigaOne is a G3-based Amiga. It's pretty expensive, though, and I haven't heard much about it.

    Checked Yahoo Shopping and found this:

    $1200 for an 800mhz G4 Amiga system.

    You can find a large dealer list on AmigaWorld.net's frontpage.

    He said the sources for the graphics, not the actual file used by the operating system. i.e. The graphic artists who do the icons in MacOS and XP use vector-based graphics when they are creating their icons, whereas the Amiga ones seem to have been drawn pixel-by-pixel instead.

    At AmigaWorld Mason stated:

    Thanks for all this comments - the positive and the negative ones!
    They will hopefully help to make the next release more perfect.
    Your suggestions are allways appreciated!

    This is the icon set for the pre-release CD and nothing more!

    If you have a look a the older OS 3.9 preview screenshots you will notice that the design of the icons has changed in many points - the same with OS 4.

    Just wait for the next release... ;-)

    Kind Regards,
    Martin "Mason" Merz


    The AmigaOS4 Pre-Release/SDK will be available to all AmigaOne owners and is currently undergoing final beta-testing.
