Are the sources available? BTW, QPTR pratically doesn't need to be updated - I've done some work on that, and, provided one or two new functions are used, to reduce 24 bit colours to 16 bit and set the correct MS bit, you can use it to produce high colour PE windows from Basic. I'm trying to finish an article for QL Today for that.... > System palette entries (...) Just a couple of questions here: 1 - Does "button" mean the buttons in the button frame, or also (other) loose items? 2 - I often give my application subwindows different colours to my info subwindows. I'm not sure whether I'm alone in that. If not, we (you!) should, perhaps, provide for it. Wolfgang
