ChromaticAeternus

ChromaticAeternus is an OSM creator from France. He joined in 2017 and to this day, he still continues making mockups.

He's known on the community due to how his mockups are done, being more visually appealing and be different from other mockup creators. Chromatic also owns Chromaverse, a Discord server known to house friendly and less problematic creators.

Pre-OSM (September 2015-June 2016)
Back in September 5th 2015, Gabriel started his channel at the age of 9. And uploaded his first video introducing his channel. At that time, ChromaticAeternus (or known as Gabrielgamer580, Xx_GabGamerYT_xX, GabGamerYT at the time), started to make videos series such as Minecraft Mob Battles (the most popular one being Spikezilla VS The King), Super Mario Flash 2 and MUGEN videos. However, these videos weren't successful to make his channel gain subscribers and views. (Around 30-50 subscribers and a ~75 of views)

Discovering OSM (June 2016-February 2017)
ChromaticAeternus discovered OSM with Angel Toon's famous video called Windows End-Of-Support Versions. Along with this, he discovered MinderiaYoutuber and his Windows History with Never Released Versions (Update 4), and met tons of more YouTubers (such as Luigi2012SM64, Santuchi, Windows Supporter, etc...)

A fresh start
In February 2017, he finally makes his first OSM video on AVS Media Editor inspired from MinderiaYoutuber, known as "Windows History with Never Released versions" in separated part because the creator was pretty lazy to make it in one video and wait few hours. Later, he releases Windows Never Released 1.

Channel's popularity increasing
In July 2017, thanks to the new content, Gabriel reaches 100 subscribers and starts to get well known due to the creation and lead of WNR content and gradually improving. Which led him to create an account on Discord, a popular group-chatting app. The user also switches to Update 5's premade templates and becomes his main source for creating WNR episodes. In September, Gabriel uploads a video called Windows Xth of X Versions (a fictional era), which makes him more popular. This becomes the most popular video on the channel (36k views). In December, the Revision 2 came out.

The lack of interest
Back in January 2018, Windows Never Released 14 is out, in that video, it featured Update 6, a fan made sequel of Update 5 by Sky Pink Dog TTR. However, the creator hasn't made any episodes about it in 3 months. Due to an increasing lack of interest into making mockups, following Santuchi, who also got a lack of interest. In April he uploads a final OSM Video called Windows Nether History where at the end of it explains his retirement.

The comeback
This wasn't the end, many people unsubscribed and complained about the retirement, although, Gabriel, whose Minecraft content was really underrated, decided to comeback and got more motivated, by posting a video called ... announcing his comeback. Since this event, nothing really interesting happens.

The change
In September 2018, within a poll made back in a Discord server, GabGamerYT finally changes his username to ChromaticGamer. The WNR Design did not take any changes. After releasing the 19th episode of WNR, he heard about Article 13, a law that would take effect later on and was all about copyright-related stuff, but it did not take effect on YouTube anyway...

Beginning of the problems
May 31st 2019 - This is the date where one of the most everlasting dramas was about to happen, between Chromatic's community and MinderiaYoutuber's. What caused this conflict is a mockup named as PowerOS 1.00 (1874) and a project of remaking PowerOS, a fictional OS History from MinderiaYT, one of Minderia's community, Nebula (later called Ornate, now Fjattar), complained about it stating that it "was already remade better" and insisted Chromatic to abandon the project.

A drama for a mockup (June 2019 - October/November 2020)
June 1st 2019 - The beggining of the biggest impacting drama starts. Both the users started to do harmful videos at each others ("Destroying" videos, hate Discord servers). Sadly, Chromatic's Discord account got banned for making one. He recreated one June 7th 2019. However, both users continuously started to like and hate each other for random reasons. However in that era, we could have a look at few interesting stuffs.

one of ChromaticTM's Minderian era most famous project. Update 7 is a Chromatic's fan made version of Windows History with Never Released Versions Update Kit which its development started in June 2019 and published later in July 2019. This used to be a "fancy" and "dominating" version of Minderia's Windows History with Never Released Versions Update 5, its slogan was known as "The power fantasy starts now". However, this was 60% of the source of the drama, an endless battle between two kits. Getting off-topic, this kit had only 7 versions (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2). It was discontinued in August 2020 and in October of 2020 it was announced it' decease due to Chromatic & most people have retired using Minderia's assets.

  This is one of the generations that got Chromatic pretty more popular due to the major improvements made on his channel, and also featuring an improvement onto his WNRs every episode, the project started back in August 2019.

 : With the help from a guy named Jaroslav for advertisement of his channel, Chromatic managed to have 1000 Subscribers at April 9th 2020. One of the most exciting moments because of the community tab feature. A voice and face reveal was done during this event on a video.

Going back to the drama, it has mitigated since between December 2019 and February 2020. Except in March 23rd 2020, when Fjattar caused massive dramas on the former Update 7 server and Chromaverse server about irrelevant things. But the consequences of the part of this drama has escalated into worse: doxxing, death threats, hate and intimidating channels/videos/posts, "propaganda/brainwashing", "ruining" the opposing user's creations, well, an absolute chaos that involved more than 20 people on it, and that may have become endless...

Generation Aeternus: Latest and last Chromatic's Generation, after deciding to fuse the three "Infinite" symbols featured onto his channel to describe his previous third generations: Omega, Aleph and Infinity itself. With the help of fluenC for the logo/symbol, and JEXX (later called Jeremixx) for the new channel's intro.

End of the drama
September 2020 - Aftermath of the drama, when half of the people likely move on from it, the last adversaries were Fjattar and TheLogoEditer. The drama is cooling down...

November 2020 - Chromatic's full retirement from Minderianism. Thanks to this, this has stopped 40% of the drama.

End of November and December 2020 - The official end of the drama. Suddenly, both of sides began to ignore each other. Although, there are still some little conflicts nowadays, despite of that, the community could regain some terrain that was gone for the community.

Current state (Present)
Currently, Chromatic is been featuring more content onto his channel. And receiving more collaborations and content made by his community that can be helpful to Chromatic like to others as well.

Since November-December of 2020, the development of Heavenite Mockups Kit, which was intended to be an unofficial sequel of The OS Mockups Kit, a mockup kit filled with assets. Ideal for most mockup creators, this is likely intended to work as an addon for the OS Mockups Kit as well.
