+ | |||
+ | The AmigaOS "desktop" is called Workbench. Some basics: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * First of all, you get menus by holding down the right mouse button. On the Amiga, like in OS/X, the application wide menus appear at the top of the screen. Some applications also have contextual menus that appear by the mouse pointer. | ||
+ | * The windows representing folders can be made to always re-open in the same location and with the same size. You do this by clicking on the window, holding down the right mouse button and selecting "Snapshot" from the menus. | ||
+ | * If using AmigaOS 3 the folders need to be manually refreshed. | ||
+ | * You can choose to "leave out" an icon for a folder. This is similar to placing a shortcut on the desktop. | ||
+ | * Many applications can iconify to the desktop - you might have seen this on some Linux windows managers or on Next. | ||
+ | |||
+ | MorphOS uses Ambient desktop by default. It has some differences to Workbench used in AmigaOS. | ||
+ | * You can let Ambient remember window and icon positions automatically | ||
+ | * You can choose to "leave out" not only folders and programs but also your assigns | ||
