Has anyone else noticed a peculiar 'bug' with the new version of DropCloth? When specifying a PATTERN of zero, or omitting a pattern argument, the workbench screen no longer properly refreshes itself, i.e. shadows of disk icons remain after the icons are moved about. Eric, is there a reason for this? Other than this, I'm pretty pleased with the results of your work. Unfortunately, I really don't want a pattern trampling all over my pretty picture if I can avoid it. Thanks for the neato program, and keep perfecting it, please! brent Brent Southard | Everybody's trying to be a friend of mine, Ovonic Imaging Systems, Troy, MI | Even a dog can shake hands.

And now some comments: Eric says in the docs that he had the idea of writing DropCLoth when he heard somebody from Apple Computers saying that Amiga's WB was bad because the colours in the windows were the same as the color of the screen ( I quote form memory). My question is: why couldn't this be changed ? Just change the colors in the screen and in the backdrop window ?

I saw this problem, but I was using it on an interlace screen, which the doc says is not supported. I also had another strange side effect. All the disk and drawer windows came up with the drag bar missing. The title of the window was still there, but the rest of the space where the drag bar should be was missing. The drag bar still worked. Also any icons in the window were moved up the width of the drag bar and the top icons overlaid the drag bar making it difficult to grab them instead of the drag bar. This behaviour continued, even after deleting the dropcloth, untill reboot. Joel Swank Tektronix, Redmond, Oregon joels@tekred.TEK.COM
