Of course image loading is done by the toolkit. The intellectual challenge is in writing a core that is GUI-independent yet doesn't dumn things down to the abilities of the stupidest toolkit. Once you've got your head around it, it's actually a pleasure coding in this way. Look at mathed. Beautiful, clean code. Doesn't know what the hell it is writing to. That must be elegant ;-) Angus
