Thanks. It works, although it isn't dynamic. You have lock screen, hide
the image, set the blendlevel, reshow the image, and unlock the screen.
It would be nicer if it worked without all the manipulation.
In the interests of useability: I had read the reference in the Read Me
file about blendlevel and it meant absolutely nothing to me, so I didn't
realize what it was for and promptly forgot about it. "Blendlevel" is a
geeky term. Everyone knows what "transparency" means, many programs use
it, and I'm baffled at why MetaCard doesn't use it too. I'd like to see
it changed. Why use something obscure when a common term would be more
understandable and require less tech support? Or, if "blendlevel" is set
in stone, then at least use the word "transparency" in the docs so that
people can make the association. Meaningful terminology is an easy way
to avoid some of the useability criticism that MetaCard often gets, and
"blendlevel" isn't self-explanatory or memorable. Scott?
