Hi Fred,


You've been busy digging very deep !!
I've already suspected something in that direction though
the manual does not exclude 35 as a valid Red value for
a background color.
I only found out this problem because in one of my guis the
background color of the textboxes is calculated from the
average color of the area of the desktop background occupied
by the window of that gui. Pretty complicated indeed, I can't
even repeat that last sentence without mistakes.
For now I've added the condition that R=35 must be read as
R=36.

Thanks for your efforts,


Fer
