OS3.5 icon support steps forward a bit more. Sorted all the problems with icon datatypes: corrupt images with CGX4, 'black' images when rendering onto a native screen with CGX, wrong rendering of complemented images on deep screens, pen locking problems and the dreaded enforcer hits with OS3.5 and AppIcons. |

OS3.5 icon support can be gained through use of the "NewIcon Emulation Library". See Downloads for a link to the archive. You must use this library with the original amigaiconobject.datatype as found in the standard Scalos distribution archive. Do NOT use the new buggy one! The only bad point is that AppIcons are only shown in original Amiga Icon format (not even NewIcons). However, this is not the final solution for Scalos OS3.5 icon support: the official datatype is still being worked on so that this "emulation" library will not be required. Until then, this is a very good solution! |

We are looking for another 68k assembly programmer to help us with the commenting and bug fixing of the main Scalos executable. It will need a big commitment from yourself. Think you're up to it? E-mail Ash at ash@satanicdreams.com for further details and also enclose some example source for a past project (doesn't have to be complete code!).
