Title: Anybody using icon.library patch in ASM by Peter Keunecke?
Post by: LoadWB on April 27, 2010, 08:01:35 AM

Curious, is anyone using this:

Aminet - util/libs/IconLib_46.4.lha
http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/IconLib_46.4

Says it works with AfA_OS 4.7, PowerIcons, and includes functionality of IconBeFast, amongst other features.  Is anyone using this on their system, and to what effect?

I have been using it since early alpha/betas. PeterK is a great hacker :)
This iconlib is romable and works noticeably faster than the original AmigaOS 3.9 one.

Yep, I'm using it too. Works great. It's faster, smaller and ROMable. Peter K knows what he is doing. I've disassembled the library and it is very clean and tight.

I stopped using the previous version beacuse it didn't work with AFA_OS. This new version works fine with AFA_OS 4.7.

Excellent! So far, it has not failed on me.

great! and although this is a little offtopic... what about Cosmos graphic.library replacement?

Exactly the same comments apply.

 I think it's  more of irrelevant than excellent. :D Games and apps of this kind doesn't make use of, or depend on the icon.library.

Edit: Well... Some of these apps does, i suppose, when they allow you to save your data files with an icon assigned to them or when they create an AppIcon on the WB screen.

That is another interesting one I will have to look at as well.  Thanks for bringing it up.

I am just trying to bring my system a little more performance and prettiness at the same time.  PowerIcons brought me PNG icons and other prettiness, along with a little performance, IconBeFast and FBlit added to the performance.  Now I have gone to AfA OS and want to boost more performance.  I am getting power hungry... may have to save up to get my Blizzard PPC fixed :)
