PowerIcons working...or not?

Bamiga2002 · 04 January 2005, 20:54

I have tested Powericons 1.06 for a while now, and it has worked ok, except for some things.

One thing is that when you try to snapshot a dir's icons that has both PNG-icons and normal Amiga icons, the Amiga icons won't be snapshotted at all. And another thing is that i have changed the default CD0, CD1 and CDDA icons to PNG-icons (ENV:Sys) and if i put a cd in the drive before i load WB, my WB crashes (just after the icons show). It won't crash if i put a cd in after WB has loaded. But if i double-click on the CDDA-icon to hear the cd tracks my WB hangs.

These things worked BEFORE PowerIcons was installed!

So, have you peeps got it working properly or are you experiencing problems also?

Bamiga2002 · 17 January 2005, 19:26

C'mon people, haven't any of you experienced any or same kind of problems with powericons as me?

17 January 2005, 19:41

I have powericons installed on my emulated 3.9 setup and didn't have any of these problems. Hmm no sorry

Bamiga2002 · 17 January 2005, 19:50

I better start testing, removing patch by patch...damn annoying thing

I emailed the author of these problems too.

Bamiga2002 · 17 January 2005, 20:31

After some testing i found out pretty quick what was wrong: MCP!

I removed Virtual Icons & AppChange -patches and now both problems are gone! What a relief...

How can i get WB to display my own CDDA-icon and PC0-icon? I have def_CDDA.info and def_PC0.info in env:SYS but still the old ugly looking icons show on WB instead of cool PNG-icons?

I rarely boot winuae up nowadays and I forgot if it was an issue for me too. Ram disk certainly was hard to fix but I think PC0 and CD0 worked immediately after having the files in ENV: This is probably obvious but you shouldn't copy them to the env folder in ram disk but to env-archive in sys:prefs

I have CD0-icon working well but CDDA fails (maybe some other icons aswell). And i've put the def-icon files to SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/Sys.

Why's that? So what do you do then

?

Anyway, i'd like this problem solved fast, i just got into speed getting PowerIcons-problem solved

Hey Bamiga2002, can u post a screenshot of your desktop? I could use some nicer icons (now that I have a picassoII) but before installing and propably messing the system, I'd like to see if it worths it...

Is there any speed decrease ?
Thanx!

Bamiga2002 · 18 January 2005, 15:46

Here you go. There is speed decrease ofcourse yes, but i don't notice it on my system so much. It is the AmiCrystal icon-package, if i get tired of these i change them all over again

. But don't feel sick about my XP theme, i'm just testing it...

keropi · 18 January 2005, 17:21

nice.... I'll try it!
Thanx Bamiga2002!

Wow, people using XP (me) use additional programs (StyleXP) sacrificing cpu power to get rid of that ugly theme but some clever amiga user has CREATED A DEFAULT BLUE UGLY XP THEME?!?!?!?!??

Nothing wrong with testing though

Bamiga202: stop using MCP altogether. It's buggy shit. You should try MultiCX instead.

Is MultiCX freeware? Actually i betatest MCP so i have it running always. Is there another way of changing the WB-title text than with MCP? I think MCP has some very nice features.

Amiga1992 · 18 January 2005, 22:26

MultiCX is indeed free and has most of the patches of MCP, but done in a clean way

Ok, i'll give it a try. I found MultiCX 2.80 and in the readme it says it's shareware. Is 2.80 the latest version?
