For 040/060 A1200's without RTG but with the awesome ClassicWB packs of yours... it's gonna be just awesome

Many thanks to amigakit.com and Bloodwych for praising my efforts.
But never hesitate to report any kind of problems with my library, too.

Update: http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/IconLib_46.4

mfilos · 15 May 2011, 09:11

Peter what are the changes between 46.4.208 that you uploaded here and the Aminet 46.4.209 version?
Not so important, but just for info

Also what happened with version 46.4.207? I never saw it anywhere

PeterK · 15 May 2011, 09:22

There are just a few additional fixes for some bugs that did not even get out of their holes yet. I've never seen them and nobody reported anything concerning these bugs.

The build number 207 was internal only like many other versions, too. You did not miss anything!

@PeterK

Classic Amiga's are my passion so it is always great to see new software developments.

James · 15 May 2011, 20:29

@PeterK

Still getting crashes on WinUAE with the latest library, but not as frequently.

Have now installed it on my A1500 - all going well so far...

Foul · 15 May 2011, 20:58

can admin could rename this topic : 32 bits icons under Workench ? Aka PeterK's IconLib Official Thread !

Thx

TCD · 15 May 2011, 21:09

Changed

Foul · 15 May 2011, 21:48

Thank you

PeterK · 16 May 2011, 16:16

@Foul
Sorry, please excuse me for hijacking your thread

@James

I need some more information about your system now:
- the startup-sequence, the user-startup, the WBStartup with all icons,
- which datatype do you use, with or without pngalpha.library
- the WinUAE config, WinUAE log files
- any Alert numbers if you got some
- are you using the Workbench or DOpus ?
You can send me all this packed into an lha as an email, if you prefer that.
Thank you.

@SpeedGeek

Please, send me your Visage icon with all these tooltypes. I would like to check that.

Foul · 16 May 2011, 17:57

it's not a problem at all.

If we can help any Amiga users .. i'll be happy

PeterK · 16 May 2011, 20:34

@SpeedGeek
Congratulations, you found the bug that I couldn't see appearing anywhere, but fixed it in 45.4.209 (Aminet) already. It started in 206.

Quote:

I may have discovered a small bug in V46.4 related to the parsing of tooltypes. When I try to run Visage (which has quite a large number of tooltypes) I get an "Error parsing arguments - Object not found message". If I switch to an older version of icon.library it works just fine.

PeterK good morning.
I saw that a new version of BoingBag4 (0.8r) released that has an upgraded icon.library (46.4.209 --> 46.4.210).
What are the changes on this version cause I tried it and the PNG icons seem better on the previous (46.4.209) version on ECS Amiga 600. I can provide screenshots if needed

Thanks

PeterK · 29 May 2011, 13:18

All changes are mentioned in the readme file on Aminet.
I tried to avoid any changes for screens with low depths, but other resolutions have a higher priority than ECS with 16 colors, I'm sorry.

Please, try out different settings for the icon quality in the Workbench preferences. 'Best' is not guaranteed to be the best configuration. But this has no effect, of course, if all colors are fixed like it is with Rebel's palette.

Sorry mfilos, my friend !!
I made a mistake in my modifications of the IconBeFast routine. And you found it! This was only a problem for ECS screens and I wanted to avoid it, but something went wrong

So, please try 211 and everything should work again as before on your ECS system.

mfilos · 29 May 2011, 14:23

No problem Peter mate. Ofc ECS has lower priority and tbh I don't care much about it.
I haven't seen there was an Aminet version update as well

Cheers and thanks for the constant updates!

PeterK · 29 May 2011, 14:25

Please read my updated posting above.

mfilos · 29 May 2011, 15:31

Peter my friend thanks for looking at it.

I tried the new version of yours just now and I made the following screenshots comparing it with the previous 46.4.209 under my A600 ECS (and Rebel's palette).

The most important part is that pngalpha.library doesn't make ANY difference NOR WarpPNG's "Default Backround" that needed to be OFF for better results! That is really neat stuff there.

You can check the biggest difference that can be visible on Aladdin and AmiFish icons.

I hope it helps a bit

Thanks

PeterK · 29 May 2011, 15:43

The configuration for the WarpPNG.datatype and the PNGdt 44.6 is done automatically by the icon.library now, no matter whatever you setup in the preferences. So, you can adapt your settings to what your favourite picture viewer needs and store that in the preferences. And the pngalpha.library won't be used anymore by these two datatypes.

Btw, is Rebel's palette suitable for MWB icons and MUI colors?

amigakit.com · 30 May 2011, 16:03

Hello,

Thanks for the update on Aminet.

I have installed it and OS4.1 icons look good on my 3.9 system (16-bit P96 screenmode):

Thanks for your hard work on this library!
