If it helps, if you increase the value on "BarHeight" to "29", the problem on "Icondrop" disappears, the theme consequently corrupts the colour of the bar "disabled"

I posted a response and it disappeared.

Sometimes if the physical height of the window titlebar doesn't match the value in the config, or if the window borders left, right, bottom don't match the config value then it causes issues. Graphic distortions will happen. Also the titlebar height needs to match the PNG artwork. So basically a theme matches a config.

It is solved by modifying "BarHeight "29" and "Titlebar height 58"

Then in some cases all the gatdgets have to be resized, hard work!

Recently I've been painting some new icons for my Icon Tools. They are in the style of Ken's Icons v4. They will be posted along with each corresponding Icon Tool when they are finished.

Regarding Icondrop, modifying all my themes including those created by you is a very complex job, because you have to modify the whole graphic part with the risk of losing quality, I hope you solve it differently.

What do you need to modify? The icon tool doesn't have anything to do with the theme.

You said one theme had an issue. This is the exact same user interface that was used on IconClone. The button lengths are different and the buttons are in a different location. No other differences. Maybe AROS One x86 has an issue? What causes the graphics distortions on the AROS About Box? Does it happen for more than one window theme?

I'll do some tests with Icaros Desktop and Tiny AROS with several different window themes. But I don't foresee any issues.

Initially it was one, then after testing them, the problem on all my themes, but also on some of yours: Modern-Blue, Lavander-Blue, OS4 modern forest green, OS4 lavender blue theme, Diagonal blue theme, OS4 coffee bean, only works well only those that have the BarHeight= 29

The problem also exists on Icaros, see screenshot (Theme Modern-Blue)

IconClone does not have this problem!

I was able to reproduce the error on Tiny AROS. I believe the EraseRectangle coords are off a bit.

I will test it and adjust it. Thanks for testing it. The results of testing are that the coords are 2 pixels off at the top of each display area so I will need to adjust them. I wrote a nice calibration tool that instead of displaying the images it draws red rectangles to test display coords.

OK, thanks

In Demo I found an application called "IconScale", it basically resizes all the Icons in the system in both small and large sizes, on reboot the Icons return to the original size Smile see screenshot

The application doesn't work well, for DualPNG the second image is corrupted Shock

It's a simple demo application that uses the Global ScaleBox to rescale all the icon images at layout time based on a specified width, height.

I haven't tried it but it seems to be useful.

The IconDrop icon tool has a display issue with the EraseRectangle coordinates. The problem is that I have added some buttons at the bottom of the window which increases the window height. This causes the y-coordinate of EraseRectangle to be off by a couple pixels. But Display_Image works just right. The GadTools coordinates are such a pain to work with. It's very complicated.

After some effort I corrected the coordinates for Display_Rectangle which draws a red or green (or other color) rectangle used to calibrate the coordinates for EraseRectangle. But the function to EraseRectangle is still not resolved. It merely fills a rectangle using the background color. That simulates "erasing" a part of background.

At first I thought of drawing a solid color the same size as the actual image before calling EraseRectangle to see what gets erased. But then I thought about simply replacing entirely EraseRectangle with a blank image composed of an array of the background color. This works because it does the same as EraseRectangle.

So the IconDrop display issue will be resolved.

miker I noticed that with Icon Clone 1.09, you can drag a folder "without an icon", even if you have to drag it twice.

On the other hand, the method does not work if you drag an exe or data file "without an icon", after many attempts it sometimes crashes the system!

With Icon Clon 1.08 on Aros-Archive, on the other hand, you only have to drag the folder once, even in this version it is not possible to drag data or exe files

My post disappeared again.

AMIGASYSTEM

Thanks for testing it thoroughly. I hope you enjoyed the Christmas Holiday. Smile

Could you please post a small video showing what the exact problem is so I can re-create it and hopefully resolve it? Maybe post a few sample icons you used to test with.

IconClone 1.8 was the first version. I haven't posted version 1.9 because I'm still updating it .

Ok I attach the video test, in the test I used a DualPNG "Folder" icon (without .info file) and a DualPNG Icon Tool/Project (without .info file)

IconClone 1.8 = Simply drag the "Folder" icon once for it to be accepted by the GUI
IconClone 1.9 = The "Folder" icon must be dragged twice to be accepted by the GUI

miker, with the new Core 'Icondrop' seems to no longer have that problem Shock

I don't know what fixed it, maybe the fonts in the new build?

That's ok. I'm working on a fix to make sure. Thanks for checking it out for me though. Smile

As for the video you posted regarding IconClone that's a problem with extra dots and dashes in filenames. The program at the moment treats them as bad filenames. You could use a workaround by renaming the image then use IconClone to copy the images then name it to what it was originally. That may be better till I finish the method to handle dots in filename error.

In the meantime I have attached some sample icons images for you. I used the AROS One Blue Folder as a guide then I painted an oblique view.

Even without dots, with simple names like 01, the same thing happens, even without extensions the same thing happens, as mentioned this only happens with project or binary icons 'Which the system' assigns to the Def Icons file!

Please try this newer version of IconClone v1.09 to see if it works better. Thanks for testing it. Smile

Nothing has changed, now even the folders are not replaced, see attached video.

Perhaps this is a problem that only affects DualPNGs?
