Well it's true that MS could have done it another way (headless servers aren't a big deal to them) but the reality is that System.Web depends on System.Drawing (where Color resides) which in turns depends on libgdiplus. Now libgdiplus doesn't only do X stuff, it also provides useful stuff (even for the web, which is rarely limited to text/html ;-) like the image codecs. But I agree the design is ill based for headless servers :-| but, unless you're very careful on what you're doing(*), libgdiplus is required. (*) and that could change from releases to releases due to internal changes in the class libraries. p.s.: It's even worse because there's a dependency on SWF too :( -- Sebastien Pouliot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Blog: http://pages.infinit.net/ctech/ _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
