Oh, seems that I didn't write about this here before (only mentioned the new Widgets in one post?).
The "extended desktop" is an optional module (working like an own app), which can be loaded during booting. It is replacing the desktop and startmenu management of SymbOS with some enhanced features.
- startmenu with nearly unlimited entries and nested submenus
- desktop with nearly unlimited icons; icon handling like in Win9x with auto alignment, property forms etc.
- widget support; you can place little widget apps directly onto the desktop (no own forms but they are part of the desktop itself); these could do things like the widgets you know from your smartphone (clock, cpu meter, weather widget w.i.p [erm yes, EP still needs an ethernet hardware - Bruce?
])
Here are some screenshots:

Not sure if I already posted something about the new help browser for SymbOS here:
[ Guests cannot view attachments ]
Edo and me started some HLP files for most of the existing apps, though they are still not completed. The new help file browser is quite similiar to the old one for Win9x with chapters, different font styles etc.
Hope you will like some of the new stuff.
