>I'm not sure I understand, the bitmaps are rendered exactly as you >would see them in a image viewer? This is good, right? Yes, if it's to be shown as such. :) But in MSW, a button with black on grey (C0C0C0) is considered as using system colours. In my scheme those would change to match the rest of the system, as happened with wxLua v2.54. If the same bitmap were rendered as a static bitmap, then the colours would be literal. I can always specify exact colours, but then they might look wrong on a control in a standard scheme, or on another platform. I'm not sure how Windows decides these things, but I guess it either breaks if a nonstandard palette is used, or it detects the right 16 colour type. For example, 16 colour icons can take any colour in the palette so long as the black, white, and the transparent and inverse transparent colours are as intended. Very odd stuff results if that's not done right. Colour rules like those are very often broken. A vast number of web designers and program designers specify foregrounds and not backgrounds at same time, resulting in illegible dialogs and so forth. I have found this to be a good guide to the rigour of coding, at times. wxLua has it well, apart from the button bitmaps. They used to work, so they could work again. I mentioned CreateTools() only because I wondered if that might have been used to make it work, though it wasn't part of my original DX7-Edit code either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
