Apple's not the only one doing brushed metal GUI

Looky here.

That's not brushed metal.

That's a bit of a more modern look to the classic Amiga Workbench GUI. They have had that sort of look since 1988 or so when AmigaDos 2.0 came out.

Why is Amiga so ugly?

Ugly?

I think it looks good.

But, I am not too picky.

Looks like the original QT 4 metal, way too much contrast and "grain" to the brushed look. I hated QT4's appearance (and its UI). I like the QT 6.x look the best thus far, very subtle.

Perhaps they don't like change (they're still hanging on to their Amigas

)

It hasn't changed much in 10+ years and it's very ugly and busy by today's standards.

God-awful-UI. Just look at that "ScreenMode Preferences" panel.

- What's "genlock"?

- What does the user care about the kHz'es?

- "Use"? What sort of "use"?

- Explain the difference between the chip selected, and the one above (without the "PC").

- Why is the window resizable?

Fugly. Poor design and even poorer execution. like barby meets terminator.
