- kbelder 4mo agoAmiga workbench was similar, although cruder, starting in 1985. I think it was just happening all around at that time.
- petilon 4mo agoAmiga workbench may have been available in 1985, but I think the bevels were introduced around 1990, in which case they copied NeXTSTEP.
- LocalH 4mo agoBevels were introduced in user software well before 2.0 changed the design system-wide. I remember seeing plenty of software that ran on 1.3 that had 3D gadgets, and there was an unofficial on-the-fly system patch that could provide 3D window gadgets. I don't remember specific years, however.
