OS 3.9 GUI Improvements
Is there any real advantage to installing any of the "standard" GUI improvements such as VisualPrefs, Scalos and NewIcons on OS 3.9?
Obviously, programs such as Picasso96 and MUI are a must if you want more than 256 colours and to run tha majority of apps. I'm asking this because I've recently purchased 3.9 and upgraded from 3.1 where I was running VisualPrefs, NewIcons, Scalos, MUI and Picasso96 and I'm wanting to get a good looking 3.9 desktop. What do people on here recommend I install on top of my 3.9 and why? Cheers, Darrell |

Scalos is maybe the most functionality-adding GUI enhancement, it adds real features to the user. I haven't got it since i have problems with it (WB hang). |

@redneon: if p96 works OK with your setup, keep it... it is excellent
CyberGraphX is another rtg system, like p96... I had some p96 probs and I switched to cgx version4 @Bamiga2002: I haven't tried visual prefs, does it take many resources? @wlcina: Look at my thread "My first own computer" ... Truing to run on Amiga and/or liking Quake has nothing to do with what u say |

Don't install much programs on the Amiga especially in one that runs on >=OS3.5. MUI, P96/CGX4, kingon, MCX. That's all I have there and my system is very stable.
