As others have mentioned, I remember Derek's Fade Thousand's FB example as
well.

Maybe "Fading to Back" is a problem, but "Fading to Black" isn't. :)


Derek, did you cheat in your Fade Thousands, and switch to 256? ;)

I thought it was all done using PaintRect's anyway.

Somebody write a Gamma Fading FN that works in thousands or colors. I
would, but I am incompetent and unqualified in that area currently. :)

Is all this type of stuff going to get broken in OS 8.5? (Device Manager?)
