Hi Johann,

Sorry, I did not test the previous code I sent.
The whole problem was on the GDIPLUS_PIXELFORMAT_16bppARGB1555

I changed to GDIPLUS_PIXELFORMAT_16bppRGB565, and It's working fine for me.
If you have problems, try changing to another constant provided for 16bpp.

The default for _gdiplus.vcx is GDIPLUS_PIXELFORMAT_32bppARGB, that returns the best results, but you need 16bpp.

Now try this one !

Regards
Cesar
