Several OS3.x questions, please have a look! -update

1. MUI Prefs -> Scrollbars will get you set for MUI apps. I don't think the ASL file requesters' scrollbars (the system default ones) can be changed in a non-hacky way, but you could replace ASL altogether. There's an MUI version and maybe a few others.

2. Nope.

3. Snapshot the window while it's showing all files. Auto cleanup I'm not sure about.

5. I've never seen a case where NSDPatch.cfg has required any changes. I think the SetPatch arguments are correct.

6. If it works now, I say don't mess with it

7. It's an option in Sys:Prefs/Workbench.

9. I don't have any experience with BlizKick, but yes, I think you should leave out scsi.device. In fact, since you're loading in the 3.9 modules that way, change your SetPatch arguments to NOROMUPDATE.

Having read other responses, I see that I completely misread your question number 7 :crazy:

You should be able to adjust outline settings from Font prefs. The Workbench font requester should have a cycle box with Text+Field, Text+Outline, Text+Shadow.

Oops! You're right, that outline option isn't there. It was added in 4.0. My mistake

For a default look for all your drawers, set up a drawer how you like it, snapshot, and copy it's .info file to ENVARC:Sys/def_drawer.info. From then on, all new drawers you create (and those without their own icons) will have those settings as default.

As to scrollbars, it sounds like you'll soon have Visual Prefs working (that AmigaOS3.5: reference is probably just from a badly-configured config file that uses absolute rather than relative paths), but I'm attaching some screengrabs of MUI prefs. They're from OS4, though the standard and custom views will be identical under 3.x. OS4's GUI prefs (analogous to VisualPrefs) are responsible for the look of newlook.

The AslPrefs in WBStartup reference you found has to do with an ASL replacement/patch from before the OS3.5 era. You don't need to worry about it.
