How to configure Picasso board emulation?

[hexaae]

I've always used Z3 RTG with DEVS:Monitors/uaegfx monitor driver without issues, but just for testing I wanted to try real Picasso II/IV board emulation with WinUAE…
I downloaded Picasso96.lha from Aminet and installed it through the installer, and configured WinUAE RTG > Picasso II/IV (2-4MB) without success. After boot I can't find a selectable Picasso mode in SYS:Prefs/ScreenMode.
1920x1080 display.

Someone can drive me step by step how to configure it correctly? I'm surely missing some passage...

Run prefs/Picasso96Mode and enable modes. Warning: this program is really unintuitive..

EDIT: uaegfx is a special case, it generates modes automatically and Picasso96Mode can't be used with it. All other boards require it. Picasso96 is weird. CGX also works automatically.

Picasso96Modes shows no mode available…
What should leave in DEVS:Monitors to run Picasso II/IV board (I've got the 128KB ROM too for IV), and in LIBS:, and under LIBS:Picasso96?
I have:

It does not show any modes by default. First you need to select a board from some menu. I did say it is unintuitive..

I made a trial setup for PIV - at least some modes do work but just tried quickly on Amikit, where something gets screwed (missing uaegfx I think). Remove the .txt from the Picasso96Settings file - it belongs to Devs. Must say this all wasn't too clear as over 10 years has gone without P96 tinkering.
No 1920x1080 there - it may work just on 8bit screens.

Thanks.
I've learned I have to drag'n'drop buttons/objects around in the unintuitive Picasso96Mode GUI to create/edit mods... The problem is Picasso system does not detect the emulated gfx board:

Have you clicked that PicassoIV (1): Village-31 item? Reboot done?
