[comp.sys.amiga.programmer] help needed with preferences

drool@retreatbisco.kodak.com (Paul Coene) (05/02/91)

Hi.  I tried the folks on comp.sys.amiga.graphics with no success, so I hope
the folks here can help as you have a more in depth outlook.  PLEASE reply
via mail if possible.  I'm a Unix/C/Sun type of guy.  Amiga programmers
talk greek so I don't browse much here.

I run a shareware package named dropcloth to display a color image on my
workbench screen.  I use the option to use the 4 colors in the pictures I
display as the workbench colors.  Well, whenever I get in and out of
the workbench preferences thereafter, the colors go back to the workbench
colors.

Is this a problem in that dropcloth does not set the colors officially, or
is the preferences program assuming that noone has changed them?

I have sent a $15 donation to the author twice.  He has never cashed my
checks, nor sent me the source as advertised.
