Weid colours for some icons or when holding an icon selected
Hi all!
I am puzzled I am using MWB, NewIcons, the new icon.library, FPPrefs and everything looks well except for some icons and when holding an icon... What did I configure wrongly? Please see the attached grab of my Workbench... The two weird icons on the top are "as is", the AppIcon of MUIBuilder in the middle is selected... weird colours would also appear if I select one of the disk icons like "Jeux". Thanks!

I've just tried that with my IconDemoADF configuration and everything looks fine. The MUI Builder icon and also its appicon are both displayed correctly.
Make sure that your fblit.cfg is for WB 3.1 (like in my Aminet archive) and that FBlit version is 3.79+. Don't use an MWB daemon. Check the newicon.library version. |

Thanks PeterK!
Now that I use your config file for FBlit from your archive on Aminet, everything looks better No more weird colours when selecting some icons... But, there is some kind of "trashing" effect when selecting while the icon is being redrawn maybe? Also, the MUIBuilder icon still looks strange. I check FullPalette and realised that the pens 4-7 are the reasons why it looks weird... if I change them, I can make the icon of MUIBuilder look nice but, of course, the rest looks ugly... Maybe I should just change this icon? Cheers! PS. I am using FBlit 3.79 and newicon.library 40.1 and icon.library 46.4. Last edited by tygre; 20 June 2015 at 02:54.

It seems that you are still usung a different setup / configuration than that on my IconDemoADF image. Please compare the startup-sequence with yours and try my FullPalette.prefs.
Code:
FBlit ; must be FBlit 3.79+ to work correctly ; this needs a correct ENVARC:FBlit.cfg NiRTGset ENV:NewIcons.prefs ; RTG mode for FBlit FPPrefs ; PlanarFrames2 IPrefs ; v39 or v40 Run >NIL: NewIcons ; or in User-Startup FastColors ; use the faster colormapping mode ; comment it out for better quality LoadWB EndCLI >NIL: |

The second problem might be the way the icon is designed. 1. it requires a boder to work ok, or it is save as single image backfill (inversion mode type icon) Proper MWB icons have borders, have 2 images and are 8c (3bits), not 8bit (some original old v1 MWB that worked ok on 8c screens only). |

@PeterK and @Michael
Thank you so much for your suggestions, you both solved my problems: I had somehow used a "wrong" FullPalette preferences and some other, older icons need a border to work well So, my problem was really my problem Thanks! PS. Could a kind moderator marked the title as "[Solved]", please? Last edited by tygre; 05 September 2015 at 15:31. Reason: Typos |

PPS. Actually, after some more research, combining the new IconLibrary, MagicWB, MCP, and NewIcons can be tricky to configure and to remove the border and prevent "trashing", MCP is key!
