Title: AFA OS3.95 with new Icon lib and 32bit Icon drag with P96 and CGX 3
Post by: unusedunused on March 12, 2007, 07:27:44 PM

Use AROS Icon Library now.
Show OS4 Icons and dual PNG Icons in Workbench and Dopus Magellan.
Icon drag in 32 bit work with Workbench and Dopus Magellan with P96 and until CGX 3 Version 41.10.
On all higher Versions is a 4 Color image of the 32bit image show.

The Problem is newer CGX convert the Image Data.SUPERGELS env var 0 dont help.
The link to the 32bit is encodet in old bitmap Data.
Maybe ask the CGX Author if he can get hints how to avoid image converting or how code the link.

GlowIcons need no Pens for better display and faster speed

Symphony Player work now with AFA OS.Because this prog do special text tricks
it show no AA Font now

In AFA Prefs the transparency of default Icons and on Icon drag can set.

Update FAQ.Please read when you have Problems

morelibspace increase the libspace on boot, need for Icon library  
add in your startup-sequence before setpatch.
OS3.1 user must do morelibspace REBOOT

Is there a howto or faq somewhere?
I have OS3.1 and a Picasso IV in my A4000 030, can I run this? :roll:

Terrific work Bernd!

I note that the emphasis on this release is the updated icon library, however what other additions and improvements are there for Scalos users? I gather I will not need to install icon_lib.exe, correct? ;)

I also put together a quick AfA-OS add-on for AIAB:

scalos use won routines.The iconlib you can install or not depend on you.

In the install archive is a FAQ.a A4000 030 can run AFA but you must use a truecolor Workbench screen for new iconlib.If you dont want truecolor screen on WB then you can remove icononlib.

png icons are zlib compressed by default.But when you have a paint program that let you choose the PNG compression you can save png uncompressed.maybe thats better for speed on a 030
