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.

    I can imagine the "brainstorming" (or was it brainf@rting) process at the Amiga headquarters: "Let's release the screenshots! We'll be like Microsoft! Everyone will drool and jump up and down in anticipation." I guess they are in for a great surprise - the product is just as dead as it can be and the best thing they can do is to admit it and give it a proper burial (hell, they might even consider open-sourcing it, although, again, not may would care).


    The assumption of Amiga OS team living in a cave for last 10 years is also firmly supported by the oh-so OS/2 quality of the screenshots: such timeless wonders as crude icons, so very usable gray text on gray background and other factors that will make Amiga (whenever it's done) so relevant in the OS competition.


    In any case, thanks for the screenshots. The target Amiga platform audience, consisting of 4 teenagers with too much time on their hands and a dozen of nostalgic old timers will be very happy.
