AfAOS 4.6 no icons and no themes #?$!!

[Erebos]

Hello guys,

I think I am getting mad about this AfAOS thing !!!!
Just rebuilding a new 3.9 system from scratch and decided after installing BB1+BB2+BB3 and Picasso96 under UAE to give a try to the new version of AfaOS....But it decided to make me going insane !
the fonts are antialiased and looks great for sure, but no way to select a theme in the Afa_prefs the line is grayed and even with forcing tooltip for the icon I cant do a thing
Other problem, I successfully patched Rawbinfo but still no PNG icons for me

I tried C:morelibspace with and without reboot, I tried with my C:Loadmodule line disabled, I tried with morelibspace_module in this very line also....and still nothing

I use icon.library 46.4 and when i check with scout, I only have a "poslibspace" of 2408 no matter what...

So what the hell is with this software ?? (no offense Bernd)

Be sure to read the AfA-documentation carefully, it states you must use a certain version of icon.library and workbench.library.

@Bamiga2002

There is no mention of specific version of libraries minus this one in all the documentation:

   A: You require the 3 Files setpatch, workbench.library and icon.library of
      OS 3.5 or 3.9 to enable it. This file are needed because the workbench do
      intern icon drawing, this means the OS Function drawiconstate is not use
      in workbench and OS3.1 iconlib does not contain this function. And Setpatch
      is needed to remove the ROM based librarys to use the files in LIBS:.
      The following is to do:
         1. Rename C:SetPatch to SetPatch.old
         2. Copy (AmigaOS3.5 or 3.9) icon.library to Libs:
         3. Copy (AmigaOS3.5 or 3.9) workbench.library to Libs:
         4. Copy (AmigaOS3.5 or 3.9) SetPatch to C:

IF you are using AfaOS on a wb3.9 can you please tell me version of your workbench and icon.library ?

i think i had the same problem as you when i had BB3, i might have forget something but the cure was to install the icon.library from BB2.

I can't check my version now, sorry

@smf
Thanks, it seems that Afa only take care of the old 45.1 icon.library but at least it works.

I wonder why Bernd did not correct this...

thanks for info, i test now and change soon.

I think morelibspace need change so it detect the new icon lib size.to enhance a library AFA need always know the exact library size and if library size is wrong it deactivate the features instead of possible crash.

AFA replace the iconlib complete, so its no problem to use the old from BB2.
the old iconlib is only need because dopus magellan do some undocumentet action in oldl library.

and when this happen AFA call in old iconlibrary

Hi.
Ok, I didn't know that your iconlib replaced entirely the icon.library code, so it's not a problem that's right. But is your iconlib.exe based on the code of the icon.library (and in this case inhererits bugs from it)?

If i do in SS the following:

         SYS:C/LoadModule LIBS:morelibspace_module L:Fastfilesystem L:RAM-Handler L:Shell-Seg DEVS:scsi.device LIBS:workbench.library LIBS:ICON.LIBRARY NOREBOOT REVERSE
         SYS:C/Setpatch SKIPROMMODULES fs,icon,ram,scsi.device,shell,workbench QUIET

I have to remove icon.library from the loadmodule line because it wont be patched by your own or not ?

PeterK send me yesterday a Version of iconlib that enhance postive libspace to 10000 and so his new Icon lib can work with AFA too.But we write more, so i think wait some days to tell more what we do.

I try setpatch SKIPROMMODULES icon, but the icon.library in dir libs is always load from setpatch

>But is your iconlib.exe based on the code of the icon.library (and in this case inhererits >bugs from it)?

there are no AOS sources here, so i use the AROS Icon library source and add new features as 32 bit OS4 Icon , OS4 iconlib features to run eastern thumbnail shower with truecolor Icons.and add features so Icons can scale crop and repeat (tile)blit and when call blitbitmap with 4 color icon data that it blit correct 32 bit icon.dopus magellan2 need it for32 bit Icons and Icon show while drag Icon need it too.

AFA need scale and tile and crop features for new skin system, so its not possible to remove the AFA icon lib out of folder and get AFA correct working
