The new default Desktop, plus 4 other themes:
· Welcome to eyeOS. Again. The new default theme introduces improvements in the desktop utilization, an improved minimized apps bar which indicates which app is being used, improvements in window management (focusing the active window all the time), a new icon set. Apart from this new one, the Classic desktop (from eyeOS 1.x), Light desktop, Fusion and Oxygen are also available in the Theme section from System Preferences.
The new eyeDocs: eyeOS Word Processor:
· Open it and you’ll probably feel like in front of a Desktop Word Processor. Better page design, default margins, new available tools, improved toolbar, select box to choose between eyeDoc, MS Word and OpenDocument formats, among other improvements.
eyeAdressBook, the new Contacts Manager:
· Open Address Book and meet the new contacts manager from eyeOS. If you had contacts in the old eyeContacts they will be imported to the new Address Book on the first start. With the new one you’ll be finally able to create and manage contact groups, attach photos to contacts and more.
eyeMedia:
· Did eyeMP3 caused problems to you? With the new eyeMedia app you can manage your playlists and customize what will you listen to from eyeOS. With the new eyeMedia app you can use eyeOS as your online music player. Thanks to Hunter Perrin’s Media Vault!
Share your files with other users:
· A new “Share with…” dialog has been added to both “Actions” panel from the Files Manager and contextual menus from files and folders. With this new option you can directly copy files to the selected groups (all where your user has access to) and creates a link between your private files and shared groups.
The new eyeFiles:
· One of the most important applications in eyeOS, eyeFiles (the file manager) didn’t have major updates since it was initially released in eyeOS 1.0. It has been rewritten for eyeOS 1.8 and includes major new features such as a multiple views (icons, list, details), a new zone to navigate between home folder, groups and trash (unifying the three apps into a single one), a new “Open With…” dialog to select which app should open a specific type of file and more.
eyeHelp: eyeOS Help System:
· The new Help System, available for all applications developed with the eyeOS Toolkit 1.8+, and allows the user receive information about the usage of the application being used and ask for help to the administrator of the system. If you would like to contribute creating more help contents for some base apps you can contact Lars.
New available theme: eyeFusion:
· There are dozens of themes for eyeOS 1.x available in eyeOS-apps.org, but one of them, developed specifically for eyeOS 1.8 has been selected to be included in the release. eyeFusion is now the third theme included in eyeOS by default and presents a darker, more realistic look of the desktop, icons and base applications artwork.
Improvements in the eyeOS API and Toolkit:
· The eyeOS Toolkit 1.x continues evolving to become one of the best available toolkits and API to develop web applications. In eyeOS 1.8, the Toolkit includes new widgets and improvements in some existing ones. For example there is a new Sound widget to develop native audio applications. There are new applications already available using this new features in eyeOS-apps.org, like a native music player & manager called eyeMediaVault.
Small improvements here and there:
· Some of the base applications have been studied to provide a better usability to the end user (e.g. eyeContacts has been redesigned to provide a clearner interface). All the base applications can be maximized now (auto-adapting its forms to every window size), and almost all of them can be full-screened, hiding the desktop behind them.
