Orion OS 3.0.0

Orion OS 3.0.0 was a major release of Orion OS starting the 3rd generation of the Orion OS family. Launched in 1995 besides Windows 95.
This is the most well received release of Orion OS and a great replacement to Windows 95 at the time. This new version brought a lot of improvements on top of the already stable base of Orion OS 2.x. 
Some of the new features and changes are: a rewritten version of the Wallpaper Engine used in Orion OS 1.1.4 bringing back full support for .bmp files to be set as wallpapers now with support for 256 colors. There is also a new window theme introduced called Stone which resembles Mac OS 8 theming. There was also a partnership between Aurora and McAfee to port their VirusScan program to Orion OS. However this was only included if the user chose the server tools installation.
==Boot==
Different from previous Orion OS versions, the background was changed to a gradient background going from light orange to orange. Some tweaks were made to the text and loading bar.
