From: "R. Tim Smith" <rsmith@louie.udel.edu> I'm not a regular AMIGA user; just trying to get a simple job done with the AMIGA since it seems to fit the bill for what we're after. Have written a small program in BASIC to put a display on a screen on top of a video image that we're bringing in through the GEN-LOCK capabilities from a VTR. I know that making the background black makes it transparent over the video image. That much works fine. The problem is, how can I get rid of the window border? All I want on the screen (from the BASIC program) is the display that the program creates while it runs. Setting the foreground colors that make up the window border to black does not solve the problem -- the border just shows up as black (I assume because it is foreground), not transparent. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated -- please respond to: rsmith@louie.udel.edu Thanks!

If you use a non-superbitmap window (window type < 8), you could POKE 0's in the parts of the bitplanes where the borders are. This will get rid of them the same way LoadILBM covers them with image. Unfortunately, any use of the left or right mouse button on the window will probably bring back the border. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Carolyn Scheppner -- CBM >>Amiga Technical Support<< UUCP ...{allegra,caip,ihnp4,seismo}!cbmvax!carolyn PHONE 215-431-9180 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
