Title: YAM2.4 startup-logo problem...
Post by: LP on May 04, 2003, 07:13:54 PM
Ok... I've just been playing around with YAM (great mailer) I downloaded the contribution pack and found a new picture i'd like to stick to the startup screen (loadning fonts, initiallizing etc.) I found out the picture is in PNG format and the original logo picture is in ILBM...

I copied it over and renamed it, but when the program starts it doesn't show the picture...
I've got MUI3.8 and a working PNG datatype...

What is missing in my setup:-?
Or what am I to do:-?

why not open the image up in a gfx app like image studio and save it as an IFF image.

The relevant code in YAM does not use datatypes, but simply uses basic MUI routines. This means you can only use an IFF ILBM picture.

So the Contribution archive is a bit, well stupid isn't it! A case of the LH not knowing what the RH is doing, or something to that effect.

Why do they assume that all Amiga users are 'experts'?

Cheers,

I totally agree :-)

Ok you answered my question (thanks), but I mend without changeing the type of the file... Sorry, I know you guys didn't knew what I mend...

So I'll convert it to IFF/ILBM, but does MUI support 24bit pics then? :-?
