"Dual" PNG icons

[motorollin]

I've just noticed that the new version of AmiKit support dual PNG icons. What does this mean? Does it means the icons change to another image like Workbench icons should? How was this achieved? I've checked and can't find an update to PowerIcons. I'm thinking it might be something to do with AfAOS, but I can't find any information about this on their web site.

That was going to be my next question :-)

Is it quicker than plain PowerIcons?

I've heard AfA OS can be a pain to get working. Is it worth installing it? Is the speedup that good?

I think I'll have a go at installing it as I like the idea of using TrueType antialiased fonts on my Workbench. Am I correct in thinking that AfA OS is intended to allow AROS functions to be backported to 68k AmigaOS?

Hmm I installed it as described in the document but my system just hangs when the Workbench screen opens. I tried adding "Set USESEMAPHORES 0" to the startup-sequence just before afa_os_loader but this made no difference  :-?

[EDIT]And yes I commented out VisualPrefs and PowerIcons[/EDIT]

Adding the assign didn't help so I moved all of the libraries in to a temporary folder and moved them back one by one. It turns out the graphics library was making it hang. Also, even with just the afa_system_lib present, the 3.9 version of workbench.library doesn't seem to take effect as Amidock doesn't load and my dialogs (e.g. Execute Command) all change back to the 3.1 versions  :-?
