CGFX already has some kind of support for it (drag an icon in OS3.5 or
3.9) but it's not simple and relies on hardware support (so I'm told) so
unless you have - as an example just to shut you up - a Permedia 2 or
a Voodoo 3, then you don't get transparency properly. It also requires
CybergraphX v4 - for which nobody has released drivers for the Voodoo
3 yet, right? A lot of people are using v3 (including, to my surprise, Olli!?!)
I already bugged Frank Mariak (indirectly) about this anyway. You don't
need to bug him about it.
I'd say you need to push the P96 people since they quite obviously have
ZERO support for this and they ARE the people designing the next gen
graphics API for the new AmigaOS. Don't let them make the mistake of
thinking they can get away with some crap ;)
Thanks
