Hi David,
When I am developing on my win 95 machine, in fpw 2.6, the buttons in design mode do weird things. For instance, the button depressed on the view screen turns all sorts of different colors instead of grey. Any idea what is going on and how to fix? Thanks in advance.

Daniel

>>I'm running a P90 with Windows 95 and 256 colors. I'm constantly having trouble with the bitmaps (.bmp) I use in my activedesktop. Their colors flicker/changes whenever I take an action that makes the _screen object loose or get the focus (for instance closing a form or when a timer fires). The colors often get back to normal after a series of flicker/color changes, but somethimes I have to take some action (like clicking on one of the activedesktop objects) for the colors to reset. This got much worse after I just installed the "Visual Foxpro 6.0 Gallery and FFC files" and "Visual Foxpro Setup Wizard" updates available from Microsoft. The flicker goes away if I set Windows to use more than 256 colors, so I guess this has something to do with the Windows 95 color/screen refresh engine. Do oyou know of a solution or if this problem is fixed in Windows 98? I created the bitmaps using Paintshop Pro and saved them with 16 colors. I've carefully checked that the 3 colors used in the
