@bernd_afa
well, you were right and I'm sorry for putting you into needless trouble. What I did wrong is I confused "don't put icon at workbench windows" with "add i-gadget to windows" options and thus I thought that afa_os prevented it as incidentally I tried a non wb window while booting without afa_os....again sorry for the trouble and thanks for your help. One last thing, after enabling properly PW i-gadget, afa_os patches windows that it didn't patch before, ie IBrowse and Yam startup splash windows and they look a bit weird. Can there be a work around that?
Also, I saw at your screenshot above that you have iconified your window with PW and it has a nice mac-like skin a la visualprefs. How did you do that? I mean, I've seen in the afa_os guide how to switch between afa_os and visualprefs, but do you run them in parallel somehow? Any hint about that?
Again , many thanks!
