Here are a bunch of new window themes for Pi_Aros that I made.

Most of them should work. Some are experimental and may not work.

Will try the nightly build and report back. The card is a fast one. The previous version of piAROS was booting OK prior to me puting the latest on it. I'll do some testing and let you know. If it's just me then I am doing something wrong Wink


Did you manage to solve the problem? Someone on the Raspi forum reported the same issue with Raspi4.

I did! I downloaded the nightly from aros.org + the contrib, extracted all onto the SanDisk card 32GB as I always do and it booted into AROS flawlessly. No errors and no issues with mouse. Wi-Fi network, Audio, Video worked without a tantrum.

I re-downloaded the PiAROS_0.4.2.zip, extracted it and did the same process as the nightly archive. Same issues, boots into the AROS eyes of the ROM file.

I noticed something else from the Oct-12 and the Nov-2 zipped files. When I unzipped the file using the File Manager in windows, I see nothing. There are no files listed.

If I used 7-zip, I see a folder with no name (I think I saw an _ follwed by a space). If then open that, I then see the content that I can extract. Also, there is a folder called "System Volume Information" which is not an AROS folder. I believe that is a Windows generated folder on USB drives. If I try to copy that, it fails with an error (I didn't collect that).

I think there is something wrong in the way the files are zipped on piAROS.

Checking out the content of the zipped file on archive.org, I see the files were zipped from a Mac OS. In the past I recall that the ._ files cause problems on boot and removing them worked for me. I haven't tried but will try tonight when I am back from work, to remove the ._ files from my mac by use of dot_clean -m /Volumes/piAROS (/piAROS is my SD card volume name)
