Hi. I'm using ObtainBetterPens 0.2 now for quite a while and I really improves the quality of the backdrops used. Unfortunately, I think that I found a minor bug. This is related to the color distribution of OBP. I'll try to explain it ... I'm using a 8 Bit CV screen (1024x768) as WB with the new 24 Bit CyberGraphiX datatypes. I locked colors 4-7, 9, 10, 12-15 for the MagicWB icons. Pens 0-3 and 252-255 are locked already by the WB itself. Then Pens 17-19 are locked for the mouse pointer. This means that the following pens are locked: L L L L L L L L 0 L L 0 L L L L 0 L L L 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 L L L L What happens now when loading the backdrop picture is that pen 251 isn't used (though it's free) and therefore that pen 19 is used by the backdrop picture. This pen is however locked by the WB. To summerize, the whole palette from 19 to 250 should be moved upwards by one pen. I tried to contact Petter Nilsen (the author of OBP) already twice, but he doesn't reply ;( Thanks for any help ! -- Georges Heinesch, Luxembourg geohei@ibm.net PGP 2.6.3i public key available on request and on public servers ... because water just isn't wet enough !
