VisualPrefs skins in AfA_OS 4

[motorollin]

Hi all

Just upgraded AfA_OS on my A4000 to the latest version 4.0, which is supposed to support VisualPrefs themes. So I disabled VisualPrefs and rebooted. I then loaded AfA_prefs and tried to select a skin, but when I navigated to the drawer containing the VisualPrefs theme, all I could see was folders, not the VP theme file itself. Can anyone help?

Thanks James. According to this news item about AFA-OS 4 you can switch between VisualPrefs, Birdie or AfA skin systems using the GUI. I interpreted that to mean that you could use VisualPrefs themes within AfA, but perhaps I misunderstood.

I will try with an AfA theme and see if that will apply, and if it does then I'll work on converting my custom VP theme to AfA format.

OK I tested with one of the included AfA skins and that didn't work either. When browsing for the skin I went in to the directory containing the skin and it added that as the path to the skin, but the "test window" didn't change (still showed default AmigaOS gadgets). Any ideas?

Ahhh yes, saving the settings and rebooting did the trick - thanks James! Don't know why I didn't try that in the first place. Now, to get started converting my VisualPrefs theme to an AfA one!
