Icaros Desktop 2.0.3 now available for download

We're happy to announce that a new nice update for Icaros Desktop is now available for download. This version introduces all the enhancements that v2.0.2 should have added some days ago, but unluckily didn't (due to some changes in AROS I wasn't aware of - Paolo). Once again, system files have been brought to Jan 6 nightly build (with all the fixes introduced by Deadwood in AROS ABIv0), including changes to workbench themeing system and locale library. We've now fixed localization (which stopped working with update 2.0.2) and themes, whose structure has changed a little in the meanwhile (the 'revert' image that was originally included in a subdirectory, has been moved to its parent directory and renamed to 'DirUp', and this for every given theme in the distribution). Update 2.0.3 now reflects these changes and themes work again as expected. This means that Wanderer's "Parent" (or "go back", or "dir up" as you wish to call it) button is now working again, not only on X86 but even on 68K Wanderer, where it disappeared since v2.0.0. Italian users will be happy to find italian catalog files for DOpus 5: unluckily they are from 5.60 era and a little incomplete for current v 5.90 version, but they cover almost every menu option and button panel. Fans of YouTube.com won't be able to play videos from OWB yet, but with the inclusion of YouTube Center, at least, they will be able to download videos and play them with MPlayer. We've also fixed a couple of bugs which were reported by our users on AROS-EXEC: Magellan should now handle Windows Media files correctly (opening them with MPlayer) and BOCHS launch scripts for freedos and linux are now running again.
