Yah.... Since 1.2 no longer updates gadgets when it doesn't have to, you can effectively have a window which uses the entire screen (80x25), and still have the CLOSE, BACK and FORWARD (on the top) gadgets. Once you initially clear them, they never appear again, but you can still use them. I like the idea of invisible gadgets. -Matt

Well heck, you can create your own invisible gadgets without fooling Intuition by overwriting normal gadget imagery. Just create gadgets with everything but the imagery, and respond to them with calls to WindowToFront(), WindowToBack(), and your normal CloseMyWindow() routine. RJ >:

I want to SEE what I am selecting. So why not compromise? First time you hit the mouse, the gadgets reappear. Second time you hit it, you get what you're sitting on; face it, mousing around in the dark can be downright dangerous... You can seriously muff something. !hao!hull This not included text This not included text This not included text This not included text This not included text This not included text This not included text This not included text This not included text This not included text
