Sure, all osnews stories are archived and you can search by topic (by clicking the icon you want on a story), by kind (newsbit, editorial, interview, feature) or by clicking the "news archive" from the menu on the left, which sorts all published stories by date.

I think I did a typo in the email when I asked Jess to do a 1152 version.. :o
I will try to ask Jess to do it 864 and send it to me, and then I will upload a newer version.

Ok Eugina should have things fixed up asap - it's fixed on my site so head on over & snag it there. I guess I should have gotten off my lazy butt to make sure that was the right size before I released it but I've never made anythign that size.

That should be almost all of them...but hey, wait a minute, where is VAX, System V (ooh, no icon, I see...) and all the BeOS derivatives...oh, well. I guess Jess didn't say this was a comprehensive list Mon, 10 Mar 2003 22:22:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread? http://www.osnews.com/thread?

Left to right
Mac OS classic - Windows - SkyOS - Linux - BeOS - TriangleOS - FreeBSD - Mac OSX Jag - Amiga - MorphOS - Solaris - Qnx - Irix - NetBSD - Syllable - OS/2
There are many more OS's then that but it at least shows there is

Nope, Syllable uses the Syllable icon... I use the AtheOS icon here on osnews when I report on syllable, as I haven't switched it yet... But Syllable has its own icon.

Great work Jess, i'll be using it from now on.. and thanks for fixing the 1152x864 Mon, 10 Mar 2003 22:53:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread? http://www.osnews.com/thread? I've allways viewed 1152X864 as one of those "No one uses that crap!" res's, guess I was damn wrong

Heh, remember that the MorphOS crowd uses a broad assortment of OSes and hardware, with all the features and limitations that invites.
For example, I uses resolutions such as 896x600 for years, in addition to more "normal" resolutions such as 640x256 and 640x512. And what about my Mac with its portrait screen?
Wouldn't hurt with 640x400 and 640x480 versions though, for my Atari and such things.
Oh, and I think it's a shame that poor old RISCOS is left out, now that it's got a new logo and all.

This is probably too low in the thread to be seen, but good job! Tue, 11 Mar 2003 01:47:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread? http://www.osnews.com/thread? It's funny every once in a while some one says whre is the "Insert OS logo here" symbol. The original had even less but had "scroll buttons" to indicate there was much more. In the end I was getting worried... I only have so much horizontal space heh. I was thinking of doing a differant design & one that could use more. If you get into the dirty of it there are around 3000+ OS's. Most of which are learning projects & only have one function at a university but I dunno if there is enough wallpaper *action* out there to fit them ALL in. If I got into all the variants of the major os's & some of the smaller I could fill the 1600X1200 pretty easy if I kept them all the size they are now... Another problem is some logos suck fo this sorta thing. the OS/2 logo was le b1tc]-[ to pull off & I think it looks sorta poopy. Syllable was hard to. mainly cuz everything is matted to a white background. Takes a lot of sneaky clean up work but as long as ya like it Tue, 11 Mar 2003 08:48:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread? http://www.osnews.com/thread?

Well, the square face is still used in OS X, it is IIRC on the box and used as an icon to the Finder.... why are there two icons? no fair.

There are other OS/2 logos, such as the one inside a circle. That might be better suited for these purposes.
(Yes, I agree that the "wavy" logo of OS/2 isn't the prettiest out there.) Tue, 11 Mar 2003 20:25:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments
