Hay JD, thanks for post, was so busy that I forgot to get back to you. Basically I combined what you had posted with some code that I saw from CodeProject. Firstly I captured the destop with hDC = ::GetDC(0); I then tried to gradually fade this to the gray slate final colour but it ended up looking crap, stagged and jurkey so when straight to the gray - it looks ok but if you have any code that achieves that I want, I'd love to have a look. Thanks again, Mike C "JD" <nospam@nospam.com> wrote in message news:44315fae$1@newsgroups.borland.com... > > "JD" <nospam@nospam.com> wrote: >> >>I peeked at the source today and it's only slightly more >>complicated but it's also not mine to give you. > > I looked at it again and it's not doing anything like I > thought it was.
