hmm are you 1 of the handful that tried out the reqtools.library double width variant i compiled, that version was based on the aros backport available on aminet, not sure how the aros version works, does that one scale or have increased width to show longer filenames more easily??

On AROS these last few days on my seganalation, the good deadwood recreated the ASL Prefs and the ReqTools Prefs, you can read what was done HERE

New Video Tutorial showing how to install AROS One x86 v1.8 on VMWare Player in a few minutes:

[ Show youtube player ]

[DisasterIncarna]

nice, i'll be watching and following this shortly

[AMIGASYSTEM]

If you may be interested I will create a Video Tutorial showing how to install AROS One x86 on 2 Partitions, installing Extras, Develpment, and all third-party software: Videos, Graphics, Demos, Games, Music etc.. in the second Work partition (DH1), all always in the same few minutes

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Probably in the next version of AROS One x86/68k there will be drawer icons in White color, useful for those who use dark backgrounds, i attach screenshots showing some the system icon set already created today!

Naturaslly one click will be enough to install or restore the White or Blue icons

[AMIGASYSTEM]

The hard work continues, already numerous White Icons have been created !

Of course, these icons are also compatible with OS 3.x

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Another interesting Application installed on AROS One x86, it is BeeBase V1.0 Multiplatform and Multilanguage for m68k-AmigaOS; PPC-AmigaOs; PPC-MorphOS; i386-AROS; AROS x86_64-v11, the program works very well on AROS One x86, also created DualPNG icons in the style of AROS One, (i have yet to test it on AROS One 68k).

BeeBase is a relational, programmable database system with graphical user interface for Windows, Mac, Linux, AROS and Amiga.

BeeBase is open source software distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

If you like BeeBase and would like to support it then you are welcome to make a donation. Please visit https://sourceforge.net/projects/beebase for more information.

Features
-------
BeeBase is well suited for managing structured data with clear semantics that can be organized into tables and fields. It can be regarded as an application development environment where an application designer creates the database structure and user interface, and users of the application
enter and process data on a regular basis.

There are numerous applications for BeeBase including managing addresses, music and movies, photo collections, your family tree, or your income and expense. Some users run their entire business using BeeBase from project planning to creating offers, article and part management, creating bills and invoices, and tracking their finances.

The strength of BeeBase lies in its graphical user interface and its programming capabilities. It allows you to process data in various ways, e.g. automatic calculations upon user input, generation of reports, import and export of data, etc. For example BeeBase can be used for calculating the total amount of income, or the total amount of recorded time on a CD, or to automatically create and print serial letters to your customers.

Finished, the installer works perefectly without any problem, all system icons "692 File icons" and "168 Folder Icons" are replaced in seconds.

it was a lot of effort to build the two packages iconew Blue and White, also the positions of windows and contents were memorized, especially the Disk Icons and Folder Icons.

Basically only the color will change everything else will be the same, to see the new icons just refresh Wanderer or reboot the system.

Of course icons or files added later by the user will not be deleted .

N.B This Icons package is compatible with the latest versions of AROS One, for older versions or other distributions manual changes will be needed, everything can be changed to your liking.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

The installer and the icons are also compatible with OS3 RTG, OS4, MOS, of course it is not convenient to install the icons because of the different composition of the OSs and the diversity of the programs, but if the need arose you could replace the affected icons by hand.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

New functions installed on AROS One x86, now the system will recognize ADF and DMS floppies (except NO-DOS floppies), and one click is all it takes to mount or unmount the image files.

Also on AROS One, with Dopus4 the ADF and DMS archives will not only be mounted or unmounted, but also and unpacked, and the data will be available in a normal folder.

Given some requests I have created a Video Tutorial showing how to create a Second Partition (DH1) when installing AROS One x86.

Basically with InstallAROS you will be able to initialize, create multiple partitions and install the software separately, the Operating System on DH0, the Third Party Software (Extras Folder), The Development Tools (Development Folder) and the Demos folder which contains Demos Extras.

Even MS-DOS Floppy images now on AROS One x86 can be mounted, simply by clicking on the on Icon, a took a video showing the Mounting of ISO-CD, Floppy ADF, DMS and IMG images, , see screenshot.

Also created two scripts that through an Icon can Unmount CD/DVD and Floppy ADF, DMD and IMG, see screenshot

"AAEDT" is basically a script executed by Amilua, on the Script I tried replacing the "OS4 Depot" entry with "Aminet" (I used the link de.aminet.net/aminet/) and everything seems to work.

The problem is that the list of files (text files) downloaded is of a different format than "OS4 Depot" and so the Download window cannot show all the files, it shows only the first file and then crashes.

If you want to test "AAEDT" on AROS One, you have to copy the "wgetcfg" files to the Env-Archive to make it work without errors, I attach this file here,

i'll take a gander as soon as i can, im away from my main pc atm, some asbestos work in the stairwells on my flat are being ripped out and we arent allowed near the place.

out of curiosity have you used https://aminet.net/ instead of the link above? any idea what the protocol used is? http or ftp?
