Skinning OS3.x (AfA 4.0 released!)
Illusionist
Illusionist


See User information
Bernd has just released the latest AfA beta, which now includes "skinning" -- which replaces the functions performed by Birdie & VisualPrefs.

It also adds icon scaling, which makes 32bit icons more useful on lower resolution screens. Plus, the smaller icons display faster -- good for classic machines.

In addition to what Birdie & VP does, it also replaces the screentitle, scrollbars, containers, and window borders with individual images.

It looks amazing!

I painted 7 skins for the initial release.

Here's another shot of the Simoami theme, which I cloned because it's jahc's favorite OS4 theme.

No -- this is just a system patch (and it DOES work on 'real' Amigas).

Also -- without a graphics card, it wouldn't look so nice.

Is there any FAQ on how to get the skinning working? it's not working for my system.

I am previously using visual prefs and birdie, I commented them out of s-s and tried to load a skin in afa prefs but it didn't work, the windows looked all messed up.

That's being worked on. For now, I turned off additional buttons in MUI prefs.

There are a couple of other programs that add buttons too that are also being worked on.

Once the buttons are working, I'll add the necessary images to each of the skins.

Hi @klesterjr
Did the suggested install and it does not respond. Can't get the engine to run. Checked it all out and it ignores the c:'AFA load' in SS. Was this system tested on a 'real' Amiga and OS4 + July07update?

AFA_OS is only for OS 3.x 68K as far as I know...

You don't need it in OS4 as OS4 already has the features that AFA_OS is giving...

Ken,

Is it possible to use your skins with OS4?

Also, I've downloaded everything from you site, but I can't find that AmigaInput icon. Was it included in the latest archives?

Who mentioned OS3? I have OS4, which is why I asked about using Kens themes with it. Seems fairly obvious to me....
