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.
