Icons taking forever to load in Windows running Amiga OS 3.5

[Pat the Cat]

Erm... why? I never could fathom why anybody would want WB3.5. More bug, less resources.

What version of Kickstart are you trying to do this with?

I did find this on actually making the things more usable (upgraded icons in WB3.5). Have no idea how relevant this is;-

Yes, when instructions say "install from aminet" that means download the thing. Then your startup-sequence might find it, assuming you unextracted the download and put FBlit program in your c drawer. And always assuming that you didn't replace the entire startup-sequence, but added the line to it.

Go there, you will find FBlit.

You will also need WBCtrl, although you should have that in your Distribution drawer as per the instructions. You could try reading them, I don't just post links for my own entertainment.

EDIT: You didn't actually get back to me to tell you which Kickstart ROM you are trying to do this with. Consequently, it's very tricky for me to help you any further.

I think they're talking Peter K icon.library (Keuntze?), there was a new release a couple days ago.

Looks amazing compared to a Workbench 3.0. Whether anyone can use it or not is a matter of choice as well as enough resources to try.

You can scale the icons up or down. Means updating lots of other stuff too to use. I don't recognize it. Lots and lots and lots added since the last time I saw it.

Yippee! I now have some idea who Ken is.

I've always been wary of replacement con sets. Perhaps there's a way around it?

One issue I've always had - endemic on the Amiga - is that changing an icon removes any loo  settings used by the underlying program.

Plus lookng at icon replacement packages for 30 years can have a certain... numbing effect in the long term.

Loo settings? You mean tooltypes?
So in 30 years time you haven’t figured out how to copy over an icon image without copying over the entire .info file? Really?

Pretty much, in the 1.3 days an icon replacement pack turned everything into "random settings" mode. That's no fun.
