On my (24bpp, so it's not a color depth thing) OPENSTEP 4.2/Intel machine, the scroller well is filled with a checkerboard pattern composed of single pixels that alternate between 1/3 and 2/3 intensity (AKA darkGrayColor and lightGrayColor), starting with 2/3 intensity at the top left, with a lightGrayColor 1-pixel interior border. It's not a thoroughly big deal, but that's the way it's drawn. :) It looks like the attached shot (selection captured with Grab and scaled up by a factor of six). -- | Jeff Teunissen -=- Pres., Dusk To Dawn Computing -=- deek @ d2dc.net | GPG: 1024D/9840105A 7102 808A 7733 C2F3 097B 161B 9222 DAB8 9840 105A | Core developer, The QuakeForge Project http://www.quakeforge.net/ | Specializing in Debian GNU/Linux http://www.d2dc.net/~deek/
