- Acorn New Look for All at Acorn World '93
-
- Acorn Computers, in conjunction with TDK, is to give away a free copy of
- the new application !NewLook to visitors attending the Acorn World exhibition,
- which takes place at the Wembley Exhibition Centre from the 29th to 31st
- October 1993. This is yet another promotion in the continuing joint
- relationship between Acorn and TDK.
-
- !NewLook is an application designed for use with the RISC OS 3 operating system
- running on any Archimedes computer, and provides the user with a new desktop
- display featuring 3D icons and scroll bars, as well as a textured backdrop.
-
- As well as providing 15,000 floppy disks for the !NewLook giveaway, TDK is also
- sponsoring the Acorn World Theatre presentations which will cover a wide range
- of subject areas. The timetable is listed below.
-
- Acorn World's Director, Kevin Coleman, said he believed those attending the
- show would be delighted to receive !NewLook. "There has been much speculation
- and anticipation over the official release of Acorn's 3D environment. For many
- visitors to Acorn World, this will form part of the icing on their cake!"
-
- !NewLook contains replacement template files for all ROM applications to give
- them 3D buttons. Loading these does not affect tasks such as the filer or the
- task manager which are already running.
-
- This new look is only recommended for users with hard discs, as modules need
- to be loaded at start-up and the result is aesthetic rather than functional.
- However, in future versions of RISC OS this new appearance is likely to become
- the default. The disc also provides 3D template files for the two applications
- discs.
