Background#fadeout(r,g,b) .... where that would fill the background colour then fadeout by using the alpha ...hmm ... actually, you'd need to be able to access a way to define the fadeout period. useful to me, but perhaps not useful to anyone else. Etienne ... actually, more generic might be: Background#transition( color1, color2, timeperiod) On Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 4:43 AM, Seth Thomas Rasmussen <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 12:33 PM, Krzysztof B.
