when use AFA under 3.1 then there is no newicons patch need.afa iconlib support newicons,png and OS4 Icons.

i not test yet OS3.1 without scalos, because i think scalos or dopus magellan is must have on WB3.1.with scalos PNG icon support work on OS3.1

but it is possible that AFA not run without Scalos

icon library on Wb3.5 is much enhance.afa need for fallback funcs that dopus magellan work correct with png icons a >3.1 icon library.

normaly you need no setpatch from 3.9 and workbench library from 3.9.

dopus magellan (demo on aminet) contain too a icon.library that is newer than this of OS 3.1

I think when you install this icon.library(see readme, it is legal to do so)or go to Stephan Rupprecht homepage to use this V44 icon.library then AFA PNG support must work on OS3.1 too.

But here too dont install a newicon display patch.

please let know if my suggestion work, so this can add in FAQ

>believe me, read this documentation about setpatch of >os3.5 beta..
>I asume this documentation is also valid for setpatch from

ah so thanks for info, then i know what problem is, i must remove OS3.1 iconlibrary first.i dont think that OS3.1 initiate iconlibrary before use them.OS3.5 and OS3.9 dont have iconlibrary laod when afa_os_loader is execute, so no need of remove old iconlibrary

maybe i do that in some next versions.

I look now and see that OS3.1 workbench do intern icon draw, this mean the OS Function drawiconstate is not use in workbench and OS3.1 iconlib does not contain this function.

also i see no easy way how i can remove the resident iconlibrary of 3.1.resident is in ROM.

only i fix the AFA boot hang when a icon.library file is on OS3.1 in libs dir.

skinning and PNG icons dont work then, but its better than hang in the boot.

The FAQ can add then a the entry, that no icon.library should stay in libs dir if the OS3.1 romlib is active

only your trick can work.your trick seem use the workbench code of 3.9, so it can work
