The first problem is now fixed...
Concerning your problems with SetWBIcon(): jPV is right. It doesn't work with MUI Royale or RapaGUI.

Thank you guys. You're great.

@ airsoftsoftwair
It's worth to mention in SetWBIcon() docs.

What is the reason it doesn't? Or what is an obstacle to make it work?
Are there more functions that don't work with MUIRoyale and/or RapaGUI?

MUI has its own app icon handler. If Hollywood installed another one then there would be two different app icon handlers in the same program. Not good.

On Amiga probably not, on Windows, Mac OS and Linux RapaGUI replaces the whole display handler with a custom one so that things like menu creation in Hollywood displays won't work.

When will that fix be available?

In the xml file I can pass appicon filename. Is there an other way t do it in .hws available? I need make the icon name a variable.

When it's ready

In the xml file I can pass appicon filename. Is there an other way t do it in .hws available? I need make the icon name a variable.

Just use a placeholder in the XML and then use ReplaceStr() on the XML to replace the placeholder with the variable's value.

I assume I have to read the file into a string variable first, right?

Yes, first use FileToString(), then ReplaceStr(). See the Dynamic1.hws example that comes with RapaGUI. It also uses an XML template that is changed by the Hollywood script on the fly.
