Where can I find AFE dock images?

Greetings,

I purchased AFE 9 recently and I'm setting up an emulated Amiga to play games.

I'm having issues opening a folder containing about 350 WHDLoad installs. The folder opens fine, but all the chipmem gets used, leaving about 100 KB free.

To remedy this I have installed WHDLoadMenu and I am very happy with it.

I'd like to integrate it in the dock of my AFE Workbench, but I'm lacking an image for it.

Does anyone know when I can get an image that would fit the look of the dock, or maybe a pack of replacement images?

Thank you for your time reading this!

The image style used by AF is unique. I never saw other images than those included.

But you can ditch Toolmanager altogether and use WBDock2 instead: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=101790
It has a Toolmanager mode which imitates the AmigaForever style without the need to draw a seperate image for each tool icon.

Thank you Thomas for your tip.

Indeed, I've been searching for .anbr type files, and I found some .br, .anb, or even .nbr packs on Aminet, but nothing very conclusive.

I'm only moderately interested in keeping the style of AFE in the dock. I wouldn't mind to replace all the icons, as long as there's cohesion.

I'll take a look at WBDosck2, thanks a lot for your time.

*Edit: I "fixed" my issue by having ToolManager display entries in the menu as text, without icons nor images. I put fixed in quotes because that's not really a fix, but it'll have to do until I find a decent pack of brushes or I learn to make/convert my own.

*Edit 2: I went a little further. Apparently ToolManager accepts an .info file and will take the icon contained within and display it on the dock, but I couldn't use any NewIcon/GlowIcon. I have been trying to export the icons to some format ToolManager can understand, but I'm doing it wrong... Any ideas would be welcome!
