There is no way to enter text into minesweeper, nor to make it full screen, nor, as far as I know, for it to toggle pixels outside its window. Your objections are invalid. The fact that Minesweeper does not have a text control does not mean that it cannot receive keypresses, and the exterior pixel could hypothetically be implemented as a 1-pixel borderless window belonging to the Minesweeper application. There are enough details from enough different persons on the web, with few if any dissenting opinions, that I'm inclined to believe it probably works. I can't test it myself, though, because it apparently no longer works in Windows Vista or 7, and I no longer have an XP box around. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I tried again with other windows minimized so that the upper left pixel is medium brown from the wallpaper, and I can make out the white pixel. A maximized unfocued background window has that pixel normally black surrounded by light blue pixels that make one white pixel harder to see for imperfect eyes.
