What? That 32bit per pixel is far too memory consuming for a windowing system that does the saving of backgrounds itself? Nothing proprietary in this knowledge ;-) The PE was designed for 2 bit per pixel with a small resolution and the concept was good for that purpose. It's however a very bad design if you have more bits per pixel (one single(!) 800x600 window almost needs 2MB in 32 bit mode!). > So effectively it can just be flipping around byte values or just garbling > the contents of the screen memory...? Yes, something like that. Marcel
