Power Icons

[Framiga]

it looks like he have AFA, visualPrefs and PowerIcons all running!!!

[Flashlab]

Isn't there a conflict with IconBeFast library possible too?

That's probably the problem. Remove PowerIcons and reboot.

There are 2 mistakes I see in your SS.

You're running VisualPrefs so comment out this line

Run > NIL: "os39:Apps/vprefs/VisualPrefs"

Also comment out this line

Run >NIL: PowerIcons

If you did the install correctly the AFA_OS_Libs should be in a sub dir like this  AFA_os/AFA_OS_Libs

[motorollin]

Actually you can run VisualPrefs along with AfA. And it doesn't matter where you put the libs as long as the AfA_OS_Libs: assign is pointing at the right directory.

It's true you can have AFA_OS_Libs anywhere but if he has it in a sub dir, which is how the install usually does it, then the assign has to point to that sub dir and not just AFA_OS_Libs

[motorollin]

Yes but we have already established that the assign is pointing to the right location. If it wasn't, then the libs wouldn't show up as processes under "status".

Even if i remove Powericons it doesn't work...I tried without powericons first....So i installed powericons to get png icons

[mfilos]

Sorry for bringing up an old post but it seems I have exactly the same problem with AfA_OS (4.1). Everything installed just fine.
- I putted correctly the assign of AfA_OS_Libs in SS (which is in Libs:AfA_OS_Libs)
- I putted MoreLibSpace as first line in SS
- I putted AfA_OS_Loader after the AddDataTypes and before IPrefs
- Status command shows the 7 .exe libs loaded
- I have no PNG icon support (Unless I run PowerIcons manually  I haven't got PowerIcons installed)
- I can't choose any Skin from the AfA prefs (Seems disabled/grey)
[Btw I have no VisualPrefs nor PowerIcons installed]

What the hell am I doing wrong?

@weGuru
Have youy managed to solve it or stopped trying? :-?

[unusedunused]

can you look with snoopdos, if any message appear ?

AFA give messages if errors during load come.
AFA cant work with powericons.

AFA work with visual prefs and birdi on when no AFA skin is select.

to get AFA and visualprefs correct working, it is important that your startupsequence

IF NOT EXISTS ENV:afa/replacevisualprefs ;enables the following lines only if similar featrues are disabled in AfA_OS  
.....visualprefs
.....traps
ENDIF

only then you can be sure Afa and visual prefs work always together and in afa_prefs you can chose if you want afa skin or visualprefs-birdie skin.
