Bueno pues parece ke los chicos del teamxodus se han propuesto sacar todos los dias una actualizacion del so del xenium o algo por el estilo porke en estos cuatro dias ke llevamos de campaña navideña es el tercer S.O. del Xenium ke ve la luz.
Aki teneis el enlace a la pagina para descargas.
Esta nueva version es la 2.2.0 y como mayor novedad trae la opcion de cambiar los skin del S.O. y como arreglan algun bug.
Viendo como van las cosas yo esperaria a ke terminase la campaña navideña para actualizar el S.O. si no kereis actualizarlo unas 6 veces.

ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS
TEAM XODUS GAVE TO ME…
4 MORE FEATURES….
Three French pens…
Two cool features….
And a lot of bug fixes in the source tree.
Today we have decided to go all out and offer you four more great features for you to try. Our key feature is, of course, skinning, a much anticipated and requested feature that will allow you to personalize your Xenium OS in your own unique style.
Installers, you will absolutely love this new feature. Just think of the possibilities as it now allows you to throw in your own exclusive logos, adverts and information each time the Xenium boots up. Talk about IN YOUR FACE ADVERTISING!!
Without further ado here are the features and notes for you from our very tired but very proud head coder. Thanks Artifex.
1. Skinning!
That's right, XeniumOS now supports a dynamic skinning system. What we have in place so far is just the beginning of what's planned to increase the flexibility of the user interface, and there has even been some talk of a complete re-implementation of the UI, so expect even more great advances soon.
The skinning system works as follows: The directory E:XeniumOSSkins is scanned for subdirectories, the names of which will appear under the "Choose Skin..." menu item in the Xenium Settings. Each of these subdirectories contains 2 files, backdrop.jpg (PNG support will be included in the next release) which is the background image to be used, and Skin.cfg which is a simple text file which defines the color and positioning of user interface elements. The Skin.cfg file contains 1 line for each of the following items, in the order specified.
Dialog text color
Dialog background color
Dialog frame color
Dialog highlight color
Menu text color
Menu highlight color
Menu background color
Top Menu X position
Top Menu Y position
Top Menu Width
Top Menu Height
Number of items to display in Top Menus
All colors are specified in hexadecimal RGB format, much like in html. The classic XOS 2.x skin will be available from our downloads page as an example to work from. We will be expanding this configuration file to include per-skin fonts, alpha transparency settings, and much more in the future.
A few talented developers have already been given the specifications for this skinning system, and at least one project is already underway, so expect to see some great supporting applications soon!
2. Save EEPROM to .BIN file
There is a new option under the EEprom Tools menu to allow you to backup your EEprom to the harddrive, allowing for easy redundant EEprom backups, to avoid any potential problems with EEprom corruption.
3. Cache space clearing
This has been a highly requested feature over the past months, so we felt obligated to satisfy our customers and provide it in this update. This item, which can be found under Disk Tools, will clear out your X, Y, and Z partitions, as well as the E:Cache directory, solving many headaches with compatibility.
4. Auto-naming improvements
Some minor tweaks and improvements have been made to the Auto-naming system, allowing you to more easily organize and manage your Xenium's Launch Items. We still have a few additional changes which we will make to this subsystem of the OS, in order for you to keep track of your Launch Items in the most efficient way possible. We have a hunch that this will become an important issue soon.......
