Do you know exactly what settings they changed to get the colors to screw up? Were you able to reproduce it yourself? Just curious, since we've used .MSK files for a while now and haven't had any complaints.

Thanks,
Jonathan

>I used .msk files extensively in a project and it looked great. Whites were whites when I wanted them to be. Then I shipped the product and kept getting calls from users asking why I had 'red' buttons and some really odd color combinations. Found out that some users who changed their Windows color combinations had problems displaying anything where I used a .msk file. I ended up removing them and I settle for ugly grays.
