Orion OS 4.5.0

Orion OS 4.5.0 was the last release of Aurora's Orion OS. Released in 1999.
This was the first version of Orion OS to come with a login manager and the ability to create additional user accounts locally or even inside a network. This was very handy for enterprise customers, however Windows 98 already had the feature implemented, even so, Orion OS 4.5.0 came with a lot more configuration from display to desktop layout. This was also the first version with the feature to drag the desktop action bars everywhere and also the ability to have desktop shortcuts and folders.
== Boot ==
This was the only release of Orion OS to show a picture as the background of the bootscreen. This is also the first time the current Aurora logo font is showcased (seen at the top). The loading bar has an indent and now shows boot messages unlike predecessor releases.
=== Backgroung ===
The background image could be changed by going into /internal/sys/bootloader/assets/bg.bmp and replacing the bg.bmp file to the new background image of the same file format.

== Reception ==
Even though Orion OS 4.5.0 was a success, the old codebase was showing it's age and lack of newer technologies, even after Windows ME being somewhat of a failure.
Aurora discontinued Orion OS in 2000.
