At the request of a RasVoja and with the permission of the developer I ported the "Crystal" native OS 4.1 skin to AROS One.

The covering has been done manually Pixel by Pixel with the addition of some MUI/Zune Gadgets not present in the theme, the only particular change has been done on the window bar, eliminated the round part because Wanderer doesn't support transparencies yet at least on VESA screens, I didn't have the world to test them on a PC with well supported native Video Card.

Crystal can be set automatically by simply clicking on the appropriate Icon via scripts in Prefs in the 'Themes' folder. As with the other 35 Themes available on AROS One, the scripts will also install the Background and Pointer el MUI/Zune Preferences (App windows).

If instead you want to install only the Windows Theme you can use either the "Appearance" App, or "ThemePrefs", the latter allows you to preview the themes, with these 2 Apps you can also see and install other extra Themes available on AROS One

In the coming weeks, as soon as some software 'in the works' becomes available, I will start building the ISO of the new AROS One 2.7.

By now there are too many updates even on the Core, and it is not worth waiting for the brand new Core that will arrive in January, these are all the updates at the moment.

Almost there, AROS One 2.7 if there are no unforeseen events will be released in the coming weeks.

In this new version I've set as default a ZUNE/MUI configuration with a "White marble" background that will be visible on all System Applications and most third party applications, 90% of the AROS One software makes use of ZUNE/MUI.

I write ZUNE/MUI because many applications have been ported from the Amiga and therefore always carry the MUI entry in the Menus.

Of course, as mentioned above, the user can replace this Zune configuration by simply clicking on a pre-configured Icon, where he can also choose to set the standard White default of Aros One, a native AROS Grey background, or a slightly striped White background.

For some Applications such as HDToolBox and others that you see in the screenshot the general Zune configuration change will not work because these Applications have a custom ZUNE/MUI configuration, to change this requires a special procedure, explained in the previous post.

From the screenshot you can see the change I made on the InstallAROS GUI and the AROS One Info GUI!

The creation of Skins for the various System and Third Party Applications continues, of course it is hard work to create the themes for all the Applications installed on AROs One, except those for which a White GUI remains the best choice, see the small GUIs that have only Buttons.

All the skins are based on the new type configurations I created for Zune, for the uninitiated, Zune as well as MUI, have a configuration program that allows you to create a general type configuration for all the Applications that use it, for example if we give a Red background to a window, all the Applications that use that window will see it as Red.

If, on the other hand, we want each application to have its own "unique" preferences, Zune, MUI saves will have to be made from the MUI/Zune settings of the programme; this can also be done for those applications that do not show this item in the preferences, in which case this function is activated by enabling the appropriate Gadget.

I enclose a screenshot that shows some skins that make some GUIs more attractive and modern, and others such as HDToolBox indispensible since a too light or too dark background would not allow a good reading of the texts since in the same GUI the texts are both White and Black.

AROS One by Default will have the usual White GUI, then each user will be able to choose the various configurations from those available for each Application, to do this just click on the Icon of the chosen Configuration and that configuration will be stored as the default setting of the programme.

Replacing Backgrounds and Buttons will not require a reboot, the icon will run a script that will delete the old settings from both ENV and ENVARC.

Created some new Skins for AmiFish, among them in the next version of AROS One you will find a Pawn Skin based on the AROS One Logo, see screenshot.

AmiFish is a nice Chess game updated to version 2.0, on AROS One there was already version 1.0.

AmiFish uses an external engine "Stockfish" currently maintained by a community of open-source programmers, since 2010 Stockfish has repeatedly occupied the top position in the main chess engine rankings !!!
