In response to your question, you make a very good point. I'm not exactly sure why it doesn't show. I know that it is not because of the background, because i made it black, and it still won't show. Try making just a plain button, then drawing a white box over top of it, that might do the trick. ----------------------------------- jamonathin Tue Feb 22, 2005 6:13 pm ----------------------------------- The reason the white box wont show up is because it is being merged with the grey background on the button ( same concept as using picMerge ). I suggest using a very light grey. Here's a quick way to find color numbers: colorback(black) cls for i : 1 .. maxcolor color (i) put i, " " .. end for [/code] ----------------------------------- jamonathin Tue Feb 22, 2005 6:13 pm ----------------------------------- The reason the white box wont show up is because it is being merged with the grey background on the button ( same concept as using picMerge ).
