New Themes

[Pad00100]

Hi ! I wonder if COS will have more themes in the future ? I think that the inspiration of AmigaOS - Workbench, or GEOS can give us many nice themes

Is there any possibility to help in the creation of such themes ?

My priority at the moment is to make different colours of the main theme, and an automated way to change, the Panel, Emerald, Mate and maybe Dock themes simultaneously (which was all in COS v1).

If you can get such retro themes as AmigaOS - Workbench, or GEOS, working under COS, I would be happy to include it in an update.

As I mentioned, in a similar post, my favourite is the MorthOS theme, which is absolutely beautiful.

I like what Twister UI / Twister OS has going on. Maybe COS will be analogous one day.

Maybe in colour schemes and some window decorations...like an updated version of those systems.....that would be easy enough....but I'm not sure you would really want to go back to the old window interfaces except to show off the gimmick as opposed to using it long term (unless you were on the original hardware).

Maybe the best way to relive the real GUI interfaces of yesteryear, is to run them under emulation which is quite easily done.
Take piMiga, which runs Amiberry on Debian, and can launch Linux software from an emulated Amiga running Scalos, which then appears as running within the Scalos window system. (I think??? I described that correctly)
There's a bit of a guide on the forum. I've yet to get around to try it.

Has there been any more news or thought to new themes\colors of the main theme?

[LeoNigro]

Oh yes. I am consulting with a with the theme expert who created the current one.
I won't say more until they're done and they probably won't be released all at once.

Of course, if anyone has a good one, that works with the current theme manager, we could include it in the theme selection.
