Title: AFAOS 4.0 final beta.
Post by: unusedunused on November 19, 2007, 03:13:25 AM

This is the final beta test version of AfA OS 4.0, which is running stable with it's extended features. If you mention that a program does not show bigger than normal borders (increased Bordersize) properly, please give me feedback about it, so i can Blacklist these Programms from the beginning in the final release.

These blacklisted programms will then only use standard border size.

Features:

You can select between Visualprefs, Birdie or AFA-skin system via AFA_Prefs and a customized startup-sequence.
   Please follow the procedure that is given in the readme to do so.
   (In Amikit 1.4 it is already implemented as standard)

OS4/PNG Icons can be scaled in realtime, due to a high quality scale code by Thilo Köhler.
On a Classic (060) OS4 Mason-Icons in 30 pixel size can be showed faster than in original size.
See provided screenshot of scaled Masonicons, on the right Ken-Icons are in original size.

Added for "getdiskobject" and "dupdiskopbject" following tags "IA_Width" and  "IA_Height" for scaling.

Realtime Skinsystem, which can switch skins without closing the screen for switching.

User-defined border size, for any window, see screenshot at the following link:
http://amidevcpp.amiga-world.de/AfA_Screenshots/currentafa%20develop.png

A user-configurable blacklist with tasknames of programs that do not work with increased border size properly, so that only AOS standard size will be used.

Many configurable real time parameters, like 3 different borderlines.
The user can alter the pre defined Skin parameter through a GUI.

Window Titel Font is autonomously from AOS window font selectable.
Position of window titel font, shadow and depth selectable.

The Skins consist of several images: Screentitle, all parts of the window border like top-, left-, bottom- and right-frame. For- and background for the vertical/horizontal sliding controller.

7 Skins from Ken Lester are usable. Follow the link for a screenshot with 6 out of 7 of these skins:

to use all features at usefull speed a GFX Card is usefull, 16 MB ram and a 040/25 or 030/40 MHZ

In theory AFA can work with AGA, then truetype fonts can use too
