    Can't say for anyone else, but I cannot wait to give it a try! Scalos has always been full of potential, and deficon support is a major lacking in Ambient (imho) that Scalos certainly addresses.

    Hi, the new version seems to be much more
    stable. Only problem I encountered was that
    it installed German language menu prefs by
    default. I switched back to my previous
    menu prefs and it worked ok. I will do some
    more testing but so far this release seems
    quite good. :)

    P.S: Some of my popup menus for drawer icons
    etc. are still in German and I can't seem
    to modify them by altering the menu prefs.

    Initial first impression.........
    Installer hangs for me at a "matrix" wallpaper
    Tried to manually install, nogo
    Very highly unstable at this point
    I seem to be missing some req'd files?
    Simply changing the background wallpaper goes to suspend/reboot software failure


    this is on the AIAB E-UAE version

    I'll fight this later when I have more time
    I am ; therefore you are

    Locks up on me in the same place on MorphOS. I just ran the installer
    again after a reboot and it was fine. I stall cant get the main
    desktop rightclick menu in english. I have no clue where the setting
    for that is. Deleting the German and french catalogs didnt do any good
    prior to an install. Do I need an english catalog or something?

    It worked! Thanks, it looks great. The only thing I miss is a
    dock/pannels feature. If I had that I would switch in a second! I
    tried amidock and it wont run at all, even with classact and new
    gadgets instslled.

    Well you may want to look into the Ambient released source and see how they do it and use the code. Its GPL so I think you can get away with that couldnt you?

    Also I notice that when I right click to delete an about box opend every time for the delete.module, is this normal and can I turn it off. That a bit of an bother.

    @Acill:

    If You take some code from GPL'ed app, Your app have to be GPL too. Otherwise it's illegal.

    Because of issues like this, GPL'd code can be difficult to use in some projects.

    I can't say exactly what I would do, since GPL is really kind of funny--and rather draconian in some instances.

    [P.S.: Jurgen, I hope you don't mind, but I kidnapped the Scalos "S" to make a "forum flag" for scalos on the site here...]

    I installed it as workbench replacement without any hangups and my first impression is that it really rocks!!! It gives me a lot of features I was missing under Ambient. Now even the PNG icons under AmiStart work. :-)
    But I still have two little (?) problems with this Scalos release:

    - The background pictures don't work (when the system starts, i can see the desktop wallpaper for about a millisecond, then it disappears). Any clue for this?

    - Whenever I delete a folder I have to confirm every file in that folder!?! I guess it's just a configuration issue, but I didn't find the corresponding setting yet.

    Thanks for your help!

    :lol: leave it to Acill to not beat around the bush! Will have to come up with something else later I suppose...


    @LorD
    I believe GPL has it's place, and it needs to be enforced where it applies. The real problem (as I see it) is that too many people release too many smaller items under GPL. When a function, a single class, or other modular structure is released as GPL--then the scope of GPL has been reduced to such miniscule proportions that not only other projects suffer but the whole concept of GPL can come under attack.

    What about your window backdrop patterns?


    They are also not visible. The only backdrop i can see is that on the status bar at the bottom of windows (if that is one).

    I have another problem with the latest Scalos release for MorphOS:

    dnetc behaves kinda strange!?!
    It doesn't start as an appicon anymore, like it used under ambient. Instead it starts as a shell window which is a little hard to close (only through ctrl+c).
    Anyone else who also experienced this problem?
