You need a picture with lots of colors, open it with Deluxe pain or PPaint or what ever wich upports HAM. Save it to use HAM. Thats for backdrop, I have no idee how to get icons use HAM? Maybe peterk's new icon.library supports HAM?

640x512 256 colors works here very well and fast.

fishy_fis: You haven't configured FBlit right if you have speed problems with 256 colors.

I don't know. I've never tried something like HAMWB.
 
Try it out, report back and upload a screenshot. Thanks!
(Don't use background images or patterns)

I asked would icon.library work with HAM screen

[utri007]

Depends on your definition of "works". Yes, it will render icons correctly, but it will only use the colors in the palette for that (16 colors). You can still use a HAM background image, though may observe artefacts at edges.

Peterk has made icon.library replacement wich supoort quite much every possible icon format natively. I can even use OS4 icons with it, etc.

Thomas: Thanks for the clarifigation.

OK, I understand, speed is a opinion. At least we all agree that FBlit makes huge difference.

Sad that there hasn't been any further develobment with FBlit. Original author has a plan to make a FBlit screenmode, that would make things easier and faster to test.
