>Of course there is the potential problem with transparent background with some controls due to "side effects" of antialiasing -- subsequent repaints of screen would cause the text to look "smudgy," and in low bit-depth colour (16 color mode, and sometimes 256 color mode -- though those modes are probably not likely nowadays) modes you could start getting "speckles" of various colours from dithering.
Are you saying that it is "safer" to keep the backstyle set to 1?
