@DigitalDesigns That looks pretty good. Please allow me some feedback, but feel no obligation to do any of them: - I would suggest removing from the wallpapers the "update 2" part in the logo. This is a detail that is not needed; otherwise you should have multiple versions to fulfil everyone's system. - "Drawer empty opening" and "Drawer full opening" I guess it is up to the user to decide which ones to use. The OS cannot distinguish automatically whether a drawer has files or not. - For the hard disks, please consider also including network disks. - Please, consider providing wallpapers on different resolutions and ratios as well. OK, I can resize a 4K image to fit in my 1080p resolution, but how will your wallpapers look on 16:10 or 4:3 resolutions? - Maybe a demo package, with a few icons and a way to buy the full package, would be a good idea. This could be shared at amiga-look.org and os4depot.net and reach more people.
And I have a few questions. - In your brochure you talk about themes, and you also mention colours for the top bar. Are you going to create full themes, that will change the full look of the system? - Do you plan to create icons for applications as well? I am asking because I would like my system to have unified icons between the system and the rest of the third-party applications. But I understand that this might be a huge task, and they are not included in the first package. So, do you plan to have these as extra packages that people will pay extra for them? - Do you plan to create AISS icons as well? - Do you plan to provide templates for people to create their own icons?
Logo: The update 2 text in the Amiga OS 4.1 logo is easy to remove, or I'll make a new wallpaper without it, I've already thought about this before.
Drawers: Opening the different boxes is up to the person to decide what to use, i know the OS can't do this on its own.
The purpose would have been that when installing, the installer would have asked which opening animation (if you can call that now when there are only two images).
The person wants to use, but I certainly don't know how to do that.
Network hdd: Yes, I will also include network disk icons :)
Wallpapers resolutions & aspect ratios: I've already done tests for the classic Amiga and tested up to 640x512 resolution, which made the wallpapers work well and look good, so that's not a problem.
The wallpapers come with the most common resolutions and aspect ratios and you can always ask if you want a background with a special resolution :)
Demo: The demo version is not a bad idea, it might be good for you to learn that installer, I have to think about this.
Theme: Making a theme would be the goal, the main thing is those icons, but if I manage to make a theme, it's always better.
However, I don't change everything in the theme, mainly the upper part of the windows and the general colors for the different color options and some smaller details that affect the appearance.
Application icons: The purpose is later to make those application icons as well, but they are not part of this package yet, a list of those different applications would be good for the future if anyone has this to share.
This could be a separately paid package, but the price is moderate.
AISS icons: AISS is not familiar to me in any way, I didn't really understand what that is, could someone clarify please :)
Templates: Making your own icons could be quite difficult if I shared the Corel file in the package.
The files are big, there are a lot of layers in one icon, and if you don't have experience with Corel, you're in trouble, the finished icon is not only created with Corel, but you have to use other programs to create a compatible icon file.
I've spent a lot of time creating icon templates and I don't see that they would be useful to anyone, the person who knows Corel Draw can certainly create something similar himself.
I hope I answered all the questions in an understandable way :)
AISS is not familiar to me in any way, I didn't really understand what that is, could someone clarify please :)
AISS is a large free collection of small images that are, typically, used by OS4 applications as toolbar images. They reside under the tbimages: assign on your disk. A basic set comes with the OS, the rest has to be installed as a third-party product.
for example, window reduction or the Close button is like that.
No, these are system images and are provided by the Intuition Library. When an OS4 program has a toolbar, the programmer typically uses the AISS images for it, rather than provide their own images.
This icon theme looks really nice and is very modern. Thank you for providing something like this, I am also interested in buying it when it is finished.
As other users have already written I would hate to mix my system with foreign icons and the standard icons of AmigaOs4.1, it should really look consistent so that everything fits together.
I am also of the opinion that the user should decide for himself which color he wants to use. Black, Blue, Silver would be perfect here.
I currently use the following partitions...

.... and if required my network partition will be mounted. Again, it would be great if you could take this into account.
