- AmigaOS 4: What it should have
- --------------------------------
-
- By MiGGYBYTE READERS
-
- After the press release on the PowerAMiGA, a lot of readers wrote in
- asking for more information and also sent there suggestions for the
- future OS etc. Here are a few of the common suggestions.
- O Seperate Palette for Backdrops and Icons
-
- No longer would you have to 'share' the palette with the icons and the
- backdrop.
- O Multitasking Workbench Environment
-
- When you perform a workbench function, such as rename you cannot open any
- drawers until you finish renaming.
- O Reqtools library licensed, replacing the ASL
-
- This was the most common suggestion, having a more effiecient requestor.
- O Multiview/Datatypes speeded up possibly in ROM
-
- Interesting.....
- O Ability to change gadgets etc like MUI
-
- This would be fun to have in the OS without 3rd party support add ons
- like MUI.
- O TCP/IP/COMMS.. more comms stuff in ROM for easier use
-
- Agreed....
- O A comprehensive help facility for beginners
-
- This would be good, but we dont want 15 million help files about the
- place.
- O Memory Protection/Networking
-
- This is being done by AmiTech anyway no worries there.
- O Abilties to open screens as windows like other OS'S
-
- That means playing your favorite game on workbench if you want
- O DUAL MULTITASKING.. abitliy to use two uses two mice
- on workbench so you can do your work, whilst your
- friend plays a game, both at the same on the same machine!
-
- WOW!, this would be kewl!, but I dont think this is possible or is it?.
- O All requesters centered or mouse sensitive.
-
- This was the most popular suggestion to date!, 90% of readers said that!.
-
- Well there were many more, and we may include them in the next issue if
- theres any time left.
-
