Oh, it's definitely better, It's not perfect, but it's imperfect in a substantially less annoying way. :-) > If it's an improvement then maybe the thing to do is divide the screen > into smaller segments. Well, keep in mind that this is an exercise: the desktop machine I'm testing on is at 1280x1024x24, but my production laptopm will almost certainly be running that code against a 640x480x8 display. So I won't actually need more fixing than you've already done... for myself. > I've made a few updates tonight, if you could help by trying them out > that would be great.
