Last week I have tested ReactOS build 21942. And I wondern about the ugly changes:
- wrong gradient on the top of the windows.
It's not _wrong_, it's different. And when the colors are slightly changed, it looks alot better, than in windows, imho...
- the symbols which say, which icon on the desktop is a link and which not,
is now on the right bottom, instead of the left bottom But some icon-designer have the icons so designed, that its ok, if there is something on the left bottom of the icon lost. But the icons are not so designed, that it is lost on any other place.
Imho users either know, if an icon is a shortcut or not, or don't even know what a shortcut is, so these small icons could be removed. But that's a topic we could have yearlong arguments on, so I guess these things should stay the way they are and we should wait for more user responses.
It seems, there are now some ReactOS-developer, who don't like Windows.
If all ReactOS-developers would love Windows, would this project even exist??
I would prefering it, if ReactOS looks most as possible like Windows. And if anybody wants to have its own look, that then existing options to change the look of ReactOS.
From ReactOS.org: "ReactOS aims to achieve complete binary compatibility with both applications and device drivers meant for NT and XP operating systems, by using a similar architecture and providing a complete and equivalent public interface." This says, we will create something compatible to windows, not a clone.
If you want everything to be like it is in windows, go and use windows.
Please excuse my hard formulation, I just wanted to point out, that this project is not about _cloning_ windows, but about creating a innovative OS, compatible to Windows NT.
