The eyeOS worldwide community is proud to announce the immediate availability of eyeOS 1.7 Lars, becoming the new production version of the eyeOS Web Operating System.

Even though the development was scheduled to be focused on eyeOS 2.0 after the 1.6 release, the decision of continue the 1.x branch to improve both the system and base applications was taken. From that moment, more than 1.000 commits have been done in the eyeOS Subversion Repository for its development, making the today’s release a reality.

The new eyeOS 1.7 Lars includes some new major features and lots of minor improvements for the global system usage, such as the ability to have more than one system administrator / maintainer, the support for managing Office files under Windows servers, many new features in eyeOS’ calendar, and much more.

The new version also comes with a completely updated base repository with the latest apps, languages and themes. It can be easily accessed from Applications -> Install Applications.

You can see the full release notes, installation notes and known issues here.

As usual, you can download the new release from our downloads page. You can also use it without installing anything from the public eyeOS Server. Please note that the new version includes a new installer and updater, so please, read the install notes and update notes before attempting to install a new eyeOS server.

We are proud to announce the second official eyeOS theme, available at the eyeOS Applications Community: The eyeOS Light Desktop.

The Light Desktop theme is a lightweight theme that removes the effects-based menus and adds a new left bar on the desktop (that can be easily edited) with the favorite apps and places, with a new menu that shows all the applications.

It will come bundled with eyeOS 1.6 as an optional theme (the default one will be the current one with some improvements).

If you have an eyeOS server, you can download and install this theme easily, following the instructions at the theme’s download page. You can also take a look at the other great eyeOS Themes available there.

If you use the eyeOS Public Server or any other public server that has this theme installed, you can follow this instructions to enable the Light Desktop:

1. Open System Preferences
2. Go to Autorun Commands and click on New.
3. Write eyeLightDesk (note that it’s case sensitive!) and click on Add.
4. Go to Theme and select Light Desktop.
5. Close your session and log in. That’s all!

If you want your desktop to load faster, you can remove eyeDock and eyeDesk_extras from your Autorun Commands. Just re-add them when you want to switch to the default theme again.

If you are having problems enabling this theme, you can check the common problems and solutions at them theme download page.

We’re proud to announce the new eyeOS User Manual (PDF - 25 pages), a handbook which explains how to use eyeOS, from the creation of a new account to the usage of the common applications and system customization.

It’s thought to be printed and consulted when using eyeOS, by end-users, who may not have technical knowledges.

The new user manual is an important step on working with eyeOS in a production environment, as a first help for the eyeOS users.
