Perfect Paint and also PNG icons

[Gav]

Yeah on perfect paint i see no writing in requesters at all such as picking my screenmode at the start.I can see the scree modes when i click on it but when i select one i cant see it or any other writing in the program.With png icons,can you not have them on your desktop? as i did but when i reset they changed to the default icons.They stayed in the workbench partion where i changed them but not on my desktop.
Thanks.....

Maybe you should change your palette settings.. Once I did someting with palette - my Workbench looked great, but couldn't see anything in reqs..
cheers

I just tried that but it's the same as before...
Thanks.....

Do you use any proggy to handle those PNG icons (I don't remember it's name, but think that it was needed to use such PNG icons), try to disable it, look in WBStartup drawer on SYS:, or in the S:user-startup, it shouldn't have installed itself in S:Startup-sequence, but you can look in there, just for sure..

U must have Powericons if your gonna use png icons.

PowerIcons.lha

[Gav]

Well i have powericons otherwise i wouldnt see them at all..If they are in a partion they work,on my desktop they dont...

[Gav]

Hmmm? SO has anyone else put a png icon on there desktop screen then?

@Gav

so, download PowerIcons 1.05 from Aminet (the latest)

OOps, have your WB in Backdrop mode?

Add this line in your S-S BEFORE LoadWB:

Run >NIL: PowerIcons SCROLLSPEEDUP

Use  SCROLLSPEEDUP option ONLY with the last 1.05 version.

Ciao

CORRECTION:

ONLY START POWERICONS FROM YOUR STARTUP SEQUENCE
JUST BEFORE LOADWB. IF SOME SIMILAR PROBLEM STILL OCCUR, TRY ADDING A DELAY 1 OR DELAY 2 COMMAND BETWEEBN POWERICONS AND LOADWB.

[Gav]

How do you do a delay?I have always had powericons installed since i got the png icons and i added the line in my startup sequence...
Thanks for ya help ppl....

If I understand correctly, it should look something like this:



Run >NIL: PowerIcons NOGHOSTSELECT GHOST=100 SELR=80 SELG=80 SELB=80 SCROLLSPEEDUP TEXTMODE=2

Delay 2

C:LoadWB
EndCLI >NIL:



I've no problems with either using the delay command or not, however
I've left it there just in case, to let the PowerIcons patch settle
in, so to speak. :-)

[x56h34]

Ahh, my mistake.

It should be like this:

Run >NIL: PowerIcons NOGHOSTSELECT GHOST=100 SELR=80 SELG=80 SELB=80 SCROLLSPEEDUP TEXTMODE=2

C:LoadWB Delay 2
EndCLI >NIL:

@x56h34

mhhh! i'm not 100% shure but the Delay command must be after PI and before LoadWB, so your first post should be right.

Anyway, no nedds here to delay.

Ciao

-CORRECTION-

the "Delay" command doesn't exists (in AmigaOS standard commands).

The right one is "Wait X" (X in seconds)

So should be:



Run >NIL: PowerIcons NOGHOSTSELECT GHOST=100 SELR=80 SELG=80 SELB=80 SCROLLSPEEDUP TEXTMODE=2

C:Wait 2

C:LoadWB
EndCLI >NIL:



Suggestion: read the PowerIcons 1.05 docs . . .it is very useful :-)
