[comp.sys.amiga.tech] BACKDROP Windows per screen

joe@vixen.uucp (Joe Hitchens) (08/03/89)

This may seem like a dumb question, but is it possible to have
two or more "BACKDROP" windows in a single Intuition screen which can
be depth arranged normally otherwise?

I had always assumed it was OK, but when I tried it, the system crashed
to KickStart when I attempted to open the second one.  I took the BACKDROP
flag out of the NewWindow structure for the second call, and re-compiled.
Then the program worked fine.
The reason I want the windows to be BACKDROP windows is so that the title
bar will always be visible or not.

I had always assumed it was OK, because I had never read anything to
the contrary, and consulting the manuals turned up nothing either.

What's the story?
