prefs seem to work now. Looking not bad.

Indeed, is not looking back. Is there something wrong with Decoration? Seems like windows use default 3.1 look.

Does this mean the "menu/prefs pluging problem" you reported in previous post is solved?

yes I will test next days

Plugin system is nice. For example I have added 3.9 plugin that promises to add behavior of AmigaOS 3.9. Also Themeing works and is visible (in opposite to magellan that implements all independenly). All in all nice. You have plenty of options available f.e. icon related. I am not sure if everything really works in aros. Up to now nobody really used it as far as I know. It looks way more sophisticated than 3.1 or Wanderer. Propably somewhere between Wanderer and Magellan but based on Zune.

Quick question:

What you are doing right now - it is based on AROS 68k or AROS x86_64? If 68k, are you using Scalos from AROS contrib of some Amiga m68k release?

Yes I use Aros 68k and try to redo my distribution based on Scalos from Contrib

Scalos from Contrib AROS 68k is much more updated than the OS3 version, some time ago I tried to install it on my AROS One 68k but it didn't work well, I had used the OS3 version.

I have made some progress with Scalos again. I am currently defining the def icons with default tools. Scalos is certainly more amiga-like than magellan that is more powerful in certain areas. For amiga fans scalos is porpably the more suited solution.

 Scalos also has problems on AROS 68k, especially on an RTG screen with PNG icons the windows open slower compared to Wanderer which is much lighter and snappier than Scalos.

I have just uploaded the first Scalos Version of Aros Vision for UAE. As it says, it uses scalos as desktop that is more amiga like than magellan. On the other hand less configurable in some areas. A matter of taste. Integrated software and features are the same as in magellan. You can download it here:
