The one from the splash screen is a good > example: [Image] PNG should in theory actually help with this, since it includes support for "full alpha blending in 8- and 16-bit modes, not just simple on-off transparency like GIF" (though support for alpha channels in palette-based modes looks pretty nasty to a fairly untutored person like me). Your example of the XEmacs logo on the splash screen would, I guess, end up looking with "XEmacs" in blue fading into black, but without the shadow and surrounding text. That might not be ideal, but it would look better than the current situation. Jonathan. -- Jonathan Harris | jhar(a)tardis.ed.ac.uk London, England | Jonathan.Harris(a)symbian.com
