Icon Pop-ups

Opus 5.5 now allows you to add you own custom menus to specific types of files. This is done through the Opus filetype system in the same way as with the more traditional command buttons. Just like the traditional buttons, each menu can execute an unlimited set of commands including any mix of AmigaDOS, Workbench, ARexx, Script or internal Opus commands.

Default Lister Toolbar

The toolbar icons and commands are fully user definable. If you do not like the ones we made up, just create your own images and insert them in the toolbar with your own favourite commands. Opus 5.5 comes with some other sample toolbars which have been designed by some dedicated Opus users.

Use Magic Workbench or your own colour schemes. In Opus 5.5 you can even have animated toolbar and button images.
