AfA_OS 4.8
You can find the newly released AfA_OS 4.8 in The Zone!
You are free to share it and upload it to Aminet. Thanks to Bernd Roesch AROS for AmigaOS --------------------------------------------------- This is the release version 4.8 of AfA_OS. Features: Realtime Skin System, which can change Skins without closing the screen first, and supports user defined border sizes for every border. See Screenshot under the following link: http://amidevcpp.amiga-world.de/AfA_...%20develop.png It can be selected between Visualprefs, Birdie or the AfA-Skin system via AFA_Prefs and a customized startup-sequence. ReAction (ClassAction), KingCON and MUI Windowgadgets are supported and replaced by the Skinsystem with code and help from Dieter Groppé. DOpus5 Iconify and tbiclass Windowgadgets are also supported and replaced by the Skinsystem by pushing and with help from Thomas Klein. A user configurable Blacklist where you can exclude programs from using bigger than normal borders as some programs do not work with increased border size properly. The blacklisted programs will then open with standard border size. Please drop me a line if you mention that programs do not work properly with increased bordersize. Many user configurable real time parameters like three different Borderlines. The user can change the pre defined Skin parameters over a GUI. Window Titel Font autonomous from AOS attuned Window Font selectable. Position of Window Titel Font and shadow with adjustable depth selectable. Skins consist of several parts: Screentitle, For- and Background for the verti- cal and horizontal sliders and window frame parts like top, bottom, left and right frame. Now are 22 Skins from Ken Lester are usable. Here is a link to a screenshot where 21 skins are shown: http://www.five-star.com/kens_icons/...themes_all.png AfA_OS allows you to use 32bit Dual Image PNG Icons, OS4 32bit Icons, "Palette" GlowIcons and NewIcons with full Colorprecision and also faster than with the original because colours must not be remapped to Workbench Palette. It works in conjunction with DOpus Magellan and Workbench. Dragging of Icons works in full 32bit colours with P96 and CyperGraphics V2. With CGX 3 and 4 icons will only be shown in four colours while dragged. OS4/PNG Icons can be scaled in realtime due to a high quality scale code by Thilo Köhler. On a Classic (060) Mason-Icons with 30 pixel size can be rendered faster than in original size. Alpha-Channel support for picture datatypes. TrueTypeFonts are supported with antialiasing. Attention!!!! Since AfA Version 3.96 NewIcons will be treated like GlowIcons. That means you have to be the following things in mind: Icons will be converted into Glow- Icons if you change anything on them (e.g. change or fix position, Tooltypes, ...). Changes for this version: The icon_lib.exe use now a buffer that fix Hits by displaying Icons in the NewIcon format. The saving of the Font cache was disable in the diskfont_lib.exe this fix problems with write protected Volumes. In the graphics_lib.exe a problem with RecFill was fixed that occure if it was used in the Border area. The blacklisting are extended that the program TypeSmith now works with the ToolType entry "bxxxTypeSmith" in the BlackList Icon. "bxxx" indicates that the hight of title bar are not set back to the defaults. The max posibile value of the Icon-Size in the Afa_Prefs program are set to 256. Thomas Klein has fix a Hit in morelibspace, reported by Frank Weber. He also extend AfA_OS_Loader to support the parameter "OPTIMAL" with it the AfA_OS_Libs are started in its optimal order. The AfA_Prefs program are reviced by him, it is now complete localisable. There are two new ToolTypes "ForceSkin" tries to close and open the Workbench that the settings are used for all windows at the end of the program. With "Layout=(0-2)" it is possible to switch between three layouts of the Window settings, 1 is the default its the one that are used in older versions. At 0 and 2 the stettings are grouped. |

In case you prefer the latter, install my library as Libs:icon.library and move the Icon_lib.exe out of AfA_OS_LIBS:. Attention: some other features of AfA_OS may become unsupported then! |

And this is exactly my problem - I prefer your icon.library because it is fast and the loss of quality is, in my opinion, very minor. But I would like to use AfA_OS window decorations and font engine...

Unfortunately, it's not possible to combine all the best features of both worlds: perfect colors, alphachannel and complete support of the OS 3.5 colormapping for older tools. Such a solution would require lots of memory and would be very slow.

I would better ask: Why the Vampire doesn't have an emulated FPU yet?
They basically tell no program needs it, while the real answer is that or they don't have room or they can't run it at a decent speed. |

It WORKS now with femu, a software FPU implementation.
It will be released very soon to aminet. It will work also on stock Amigas. |

Anyone any idea why I always get "install_afa_os is not an executable" if I try to install it (using UAE, uaegfx, OS 3.1)?
Anything that I am missing? edit: got it installing now.. But when I start AfA OS preferences, everything is greyed out and I cannot change anything.. :/ Last edited by Tigerskunk; 18 February 2018 at 17:41. |
