[Files] Bug in PowerIcons - warning ANN.lu Posted on 21-Oct-2003 15:11 GMT by Elena Novaretti 15 comments View flat View list A bug in PowerIcons 1.0/1.01 has been found. Nobody cames to the light perfect :) I'm working to fix it soon. Using icon.library < 45.10 causes PowerIcons to show alignment problems with default icons. That's not really a PowerIcons bug, rather a stupid code used by pre-45.10 icon.library when returning from the idenfitying hook. For now please use icon.library 45.10 (OS 3.9 BB2). I'm working to fix it, so wait for release 1.02 on Aminet. .& List of all comments to this article Sorted by date, most recent at bottom Comment 1 Pentrite 21-Oct-2003 13:31 GMT Comment 2 Peter Gordon 21-Oct-2003 13:47 GMT Comment 3 Anonymous 21-Oct-2003 13:57 GMT Comment 4 bbrockie 21-Oct-2003 14:36 GMT Comment 5 IamCleverToo 21-Oct-2003 15:00 GMT Comment 6 another one 21-Oct-2003 16:36 GMT Comment 7 Felix 21-Oct-2003 19:04 GMT Comment 8 Me Too 21-Oct-2003 22:12 GMT Comment 9 miksuh 22-Oct-2003 10:18 GMT Comment 10 miksuh 22-Oct-2003 10:19 GMT Bug in PowerIcons - warning : Comment 11 of 15 ANN.lu Posted by Bill Hoggett on 22-Oct-2003 13:19 GMT In reply to Comment 9 (miksuh): @miksuh > 2) There really should be other ways to show active icon.

That would make any number of icon sets unusable without modification. The "selected icon" image could be user selectable through a prefs program. It could be lightened or darkened according to preference (some icons and backgrounds would look better with lightened icons, some with darkened ones). If glow is to be added the best way to do so would be to render it directly to screen, perhaps allowing the parameters and colour of the glow to be selectable through the prefs program again. The last thing anyone needs is another custom icon format no one else uses. > 3) It would be good if Powericons would generate icon with less colors when > you try to drag the icon.

Perhaps a transparent oulined icon could replace the original while being moved? Failing that, a two or four colour substiture would do the job. Again, perhaps this would be selectable from the prefs according to the CPU power available. Still, PowerIcons is a considerable improvement on anything that AmigaOS has available before it.
