icon.library 46.4 test versions - Page 79

Perfect then. It works very well with all I've tried too.

HanSolo · 11 April 2016, 10:42

indeed, 4.24 is faster than 4.22 by 0.06s on my config.

Found a long-standing bug in the icon.library existing already since 46.4.370 from August 2014 concerning disabled color icons and NewIcons with direct drawing used on Hi/TrueColor screens. I didn'r switch off the direct drawing for these icons to display their planar images correctly.

This bug will be fixed on the next days. Atm, there are still a few NewIcons with corrupted planar images which I need to get looking right again.

TjLaZer · 13 April 2016, 22:14

Would be nice if you made the ghosting off as default and a command to turn it on. Seems backwards as most don't like or use it. Even on RTG.

Just thank you for looking for every single icon to work perfect.

I've got my AKReal update ready, and I will wait to add your fixed icon.library when it's ready.

I only found some problems with icons with a configuration (this is from a year ago), and it was solved using a different background, so I think it was just a lack of pens available.

Ideally it would be cool to be able to change the default configuration inside the exe file, then when the lib is in rom you get what you want at startup.

Personally, I have got used to the current default setup, which is much similar to OS4 defaults and remember, it's impossible to please everyone, we are all different, and luckily we have many options to tweak to suite our needs.

Update to icon.library 46.4.425:

... This bug is fixed now.

@TjLaZer

And now a simple hack for all the GhostBusters:

If you really don't like icon ghosting to be enabled by default then take a HEX-editor, scan the icon.library for $74FF4AAD and change it into $74004AAD.

TjLaZer · 22 April 2016, 01:08

Thank you!!!

edit. Tried it and it didn't work. Here is the file.

PeterK · 22 April 2016, 07:29

The patched version is correct, and it works for me as Libs:icon.library.

TjLaZer · 22 April 2016, 07:30

Hmm weird, it doesn't work for me. Even cold booted the system. I am not loading it with Loadmodule or anything. Just have it in Libs:

PeterK · 22 April 2016, 07:40

And you don't have another icon.library in a custom ROM or loaded with Blitzkick ??
Try to check it with

Version icon.library

You could also try out RemLib from the ThirdParty folder in my Aminet archive:

RemLib icon.library ; please no path like Libs:icon.library

TjLaZer · 22 April 2016, 07:48

no other library, and yes the version shows. I am not using the command to turn off ghosting in my SS.

PeterK · 22 April 2016, 07:57

Ok, confirmed, it seems not to do the trick on 8-bit or AGA screens, just on Hi/TrueColor screen modes.

TjLaZer · 22 April 2016, 08:07

oh ok. bummer!

PeterK · 22 April 2016, 08:28

Update to icon.library 46.4.426:

The previous version was not optimal, since I made two minor mistakes when I wanted to be too smart. It should be done better now.

And now a simple hack for all the GhostBusters:

If you really don't like icon ghosting to be enabled by default then take a HEX-editor, scan the icon.library for $74FF4AAD and change it into $74004AAD.

@TjLaZer
Sorry, it just needs another byte changed for screens with 8 or less bits depth:
Also scan for $6B2C and replace it with $602C

TjLaZer · 22 April 2016, 08:47

Seems to be working!

PeterK · 07 May 2016, 22:56

The icon.library 46.4.427 has been released:

Aminet - util/libs/IconLib_46.4.lha

Retrofan · 08 May 2016, 01:51

Great.
A question. Reading your readme:

Quote:

...icon loading with DOpus5 a lot faster. Instead of delaying the colormapping, it is not done at all on Hi/TrueColor screens anymore when you disable it with the command DOnoColorMapping in your startup-sequence. In order to get the real images while dragging the icons around, you have to enable "Use Custom Drag Routines" in the DOpus5 settings. But the icon loading is already much faster without the optional command DOnoColorMapping and also on AGA screens you can see some small speed improvements, too.

I already use the "Use Custom Drag Routines". Do you think I should use in my s-s at the end something like this?

C:IconsToFastMem
IF EXISTS C:RTG
C: DOnoColorMapping
EndIF

(Well, this "IF" is only for when you use "Better Config" and select to use RTG: I don't want to add a program checking for RTG used, surely delaying the booting.)

Because I don't see any difference with DonoColorMapping enabled with AGA.

Shall I use DonotColorMapping and Use Custom Drag Routines for AGA?

I'm sorry I don't take it.

PeterK · 08 May 2016, 02:08

Hi Retrofan,

yes, on RTG screens I would recommend to use "DOnoColorMapping" which will give you the best possible speed for DOpus Magellan II.

There is only one small drawback when somebody switches from RTG to non-RTG modes: then you will just see some black icon masks instead of colored images. But that can be corrected easily by calling DOpus icon menu "Icon Reset" or by reopening the windows.

You don't need this option for AGA if there's no speed gain on real Amigas.

The thing is that I was trying it for real and I don't see any difference. I've got DonotcolorMapping enabled (I mean that I've also tried with it disabled).

I've never seen that, and I constantly change from RTG to AGA using "Better Config" in Tools (on WinUAE). What I've only seen from time to time are discoloured icons/images caused by iPrefs not loading on time.

I can send you my latest version to try if you like.
