It will be a long time before BeOS-like Tab/Windows can be stacked, not sure that's even achievable in the Spectrum's constrained memory space. But at least we get to see it's well possible to produce a theme that looks a bit like it, even in its limited capacity at this time.

RGB Gets Ready (2026) by SpectrumNez for ZX Spectrum. Boxes everywhere, gamers breaking the machines and kids hopped up on sweets: ten levels of setting up a hall before the doors open, and a coffee for speed ☕

Not infinitely colourful yet at this time, but definitely not forcefully monochromatic either.
It has been running on FUSE for a few hours without crashing, which is more than you can ask some days from certain big name GUI environments 🤣

In case you were wondering whether ZX Opal requires special support from the Spectrum emulator: No, it doesn't. ZenZX provides no extra support to ZX Opal, other than reasonably correct emulation of a ZX Spectrum.
At least a couple of testers are running it on real Spectrums and clones, and here's a screenshot of ZX Opal running unmodified on FUSE.
Of course, for handling files the way the ZX Opal Shell does, you need a filesystem of some kind, and in our case at this time that specific feature requires correct emulation of a ZX Spectrumn +3 with its original ROMs, and a floppy disk drive with its floppy disk drive controller.
I just happen to be the author of both ZenZX and ZX Opal, and for obvious reasons it's more comfortable for me to use ZenZX as my main emulator.

The #zxspectrum game I'm working on is coming along nicely. I'm going to stop posting about it now and get it finished but here's a sneak peak at what I have so far...

Update: the ZX Opal shell has actually copied a file using the +3DOS ROM routines wrapped in the POSIZX api. This means it will work the same with esXdos when the POSIZX wrappers too are made to work with esxDos. For verification, +3 BASIC has been able to read the copied file as well from a standard floppy image.

ZX Opal Term and shell. It's only a proof-of-concept, but it's already showing promise. It may not be really usable on a Spectrum 48k without some device that allows you to place the OS in ROM, but it promises to work on the 128k models!
Just for the fun of it, the internal file API is called POSIZX 🤣
Today is a good day!
