I am trying to think if this also happened with TeraDesk/MiNT as well, but I think it was fine. Does TOS4.04 (or the 1.03c that the CT60e uses) support 32bit Icons?

ThorstenOtto wrote:What you maybe mean is displaying icons of 16 or 256 colors on a truecolor display. Theoretically, TOS 4.04 should be able to do that, and teradesk will use that functionality. For what i can tell, it does not have fallback routines if the AES does not support coloricons, and will use the monochrome version instead. If that does not work for you, then either something seems is wrong with the VDI you are using, or the cicons.rsc file is broken. At least it works using XaAES here.

I i understand it right, the 2nd screenshot is from the internal desktop? Maybe its just the desktop that has problems.

Though I mostly wanted to try it due to Calamus 2015 LE requirements. It has to be in either 256 or True color to work. And it seems to crash for me under MiNT/XaAES. I need to update that sometime soon anyhow, since it seems there have been some bug fixes sonce the build I am using.
Code: Select all
pid 11 CALAMUS): XaAES:
Non-AES process issued AES
system call 104, killing it!

I'm able to run it in black and white, you should perhaps try. So this software not work only under MyAES! I was thinking it was link to MyAES!
