EasyMenu is not very good at displaying high colour sprites, you have to
fool it by putting a 4/8 mode sprite in front of each high colour
sprite.
This is not true! Only if you want to have the sprites in mode 4 or 8,
too.
Just to confuse things a bit more: Loose
I have been using this for quite some time now, even in my Email
reader. Easymenu can do much more than we first thought.
You miss the point. It can't do much of this without quite a lot of
lateral thinking and programming around limitations.
This is exactly what people want corrected.

When I last saw the upgraded version all it did was allow you to use GD2
colours directly, but nothing else. For example, if you use high
resolution sprites you have to load these into EasyMenu every time you
make changes to a menu.

The upgrade situation is not easy. I do have an updated version of

considers them unfinished.
I would definitely want to have an upgrade (and pay for it ofcourse) and
think that
we need it urgently.
So, as far as I am concerned, please stop discussing it, fix a price for
it and begin to DO it.
