`12.Apr.2007` Bernd Roesch (ANF)	MUI-clone: AfA Zune 1.0, final beta 3 Bernd Roesch has published an update of his AmigaOS 3-port of the MUI-clone Zune. Changes in this version: supports MUI 4-images (xxx.mim-files). If capitalization is used (xxx.MIM) a frame and a button background are created which can look nicer (look at the arrows in this screenshot) The AFA picturedatatype_exe must be used and installed for MUI 4-Bilder. The contained version fixes some compatibility problems under CGX-systems. The installer works if Zune directories were newly created, too Shows class-number of the MUI-class if it could not be converted Contains updated classes in order to use the newer YAM 2.5 "Nightly-Builds" (tested on 2. April 2007) Example Skin-files were adapted to the new texteditor-keymappings of the contained version 15.21. Older texteditor-classes should not be used. Version 15.21 works reliable under Zune and MUI. Toolbar-preference "no border" now works Gadtools and intuition can use the skins created by Zune with the help of the contained intuition.library. Because of this programs based on StormWizard can set colours in buttons and cycle- or popup-gadgets. Examples are Arteffect (screenshot), AmiBlitz, akDatatype-preferences as well as the AfA-preferences. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 12.
