Hi Jaime I wrote a new class called NBitmap.mcc which is currently used in my Epistula application to load graphics via datatypes and display them in NList's or as a normal object. I suppose it could be used for anything else you need too. It supports the alpha channel in 32bit images, displays 24bit images and will remap 8bit images and respect the transparent colour. The only catch is that it is written for OS4 only at the minute but the source code is available in SVN at http://nlist-classes.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nlist-classes/trunk/nbitmap_ mcc/ so you could very well adapt it to compile for MOS and/or 68k. Please remember to submit any changes back to the SVN, which I think you'll need write access to from Jens Langner. Daniel

I'm playing with the NList classes and I want to embed images between text. I have done some tests with the escape code e.g: \033I[5:myimage.gif]. Of course, I have a problem because the transparent colour is drawn and it shouldn't. I have some questions about MUI4... -Does it support embedded transparent images loaded directly from datatypes? -Does it support 24bit images? If you load a boopsi "image" could it be animated in any way? Maybe refreshing just the image gadgets without redrawing all the rest of gadgets... I don't know. And another thing... if MUI4 allows images loaded with datatypes to have transparent colours (and maybe even alpha channel) could this be possible with an updated MUI4 for classics? If MUI4 isn't going to be released for classics I guess that I'll have to try to replace/patch MUI_Image class with code from Zune... I could try to convert the image loaded with the datatypes to an "image", remap the colours etc... but just to get a transparent colour it looks like a lot of work that won't be reused and it would be more interesting to have it integrated in MUI_Image. -- Saludos/Best Regards Jaime Cagigal
