Retro OS
I've run this for a week now. So I thought a REPORT:-
I do not think it runs as fast as the standard OS. But it is bigger.
The wallpaper is a bit too harsh, but cannot keep alternative. On restart it resets to pre set.
Keyboard, Why do I need to set that up every time I turn on !!! Its a real pain.
The start up jingle would be good with a 6 note chime.
The close down page/screen is smart, very good.
The file structure is a mess. That needs cleaning up.
Help file is very good.
Its a little unstable.
But I like it. Looking forword to Mk 2

Retro
is the default OS, just has added extras. Speed shouldn't have changed since nothing (major) is different.
Wallpaper fix posted above. Been discussed on forum before.
Keyboard starts with US key mapping because i live in the US, and since
i made retro that's the way it is. You can change the default key mapping to use whatever you want. It's been discussed on the forum before.
Startup jingle you can change to whatever you want so long as it's in .wav format. Been discussed on the forum before.
How is the file structure a mess? It's a normal linux file system. Nothing messy about it.
It should be no more unstable than the default OS, since again it
is the default OS. It still has the quirks the default OS had though.
There will be no release 2 of retro. Also discussed in forum before.
3MX and Retro aren't for everybody. Some like them, some don't. I'm just giving people more options to play with. If you're happy with it then great, glad to hear it. If not, there is always the bland default OS.
Cheers.
