The only tidbit worth mentioning is that the yellow and orange colors are too similar. At least on my monitor. You could also try to contrast more the white result from unfilled.

RE: [ANN] Game Available for Test
Scott, Game works well on Win XP and Mac 9.2. Colors work OK for my red-green color blindness. Suggestion: How about a rollover when mouse enters a color spot, a group with the five colors appears so can select color with one click instead of up to 5? Question: What graphics software do you prefer for making your non-rectangular window graphics, e.g., the masking? Thanks for the game!

But there are other less costly solutions for non-professional folks. I came across this list of PNG-capable editors on the 'net for anyone who's interested: http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngaped.html PNG is not specifically necessary to make custom window shapes, but it is a versatile image format for MC/Rev.

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you run the following from a button in a dummy stack: on mouseUp put the tempName into tPath set itemdel to / put kodekraker.mc into last item of tPath put url http://www.tactilemedia.com/test/stacks/kodekraker.mc; \ into url (binfile: tPath) go stack url tPath end mouseUp Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, Multimedia Design - E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: http://www.tactilemedia.com ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

If in Eudora for ex. command clic on the link. Stop iCab trying to open a page. Choose download from iCab file menu (opt-comm-L). Then clic OK in the download panel and iCab will properly download the game in the folder of your choice. Then open in MC at your choosing which I prefer anyway. By the way, you can download complete web site that way with iCab, try it. iCab's got a pretty impressive download module.

like Shari, I had the same result. I'm using Netscape 7.0+ with Meta 2.5... Are you trying to use a Web browser to download the stack?. There's no need for a Web browser.
