Okay, here's the deal. By default, wallpaper replaces the field color for ALL QCRT text with the wallpaper image/color (they're really the same). I you want the wallpaper to be applied to a specific QCRT attribute only, then you must tell COSW. This is done via the TransparentColor mnemonic, the form of which is (TransparentColor = For example, say you want the wallpaper to show only through forground characters. You'd specify that the TransparentColor is whatever the field color is for forground characters. (TransparentColor = 15) ! 0xf = typical white background The difficult part of this is that you must know in advance what the field color for foreground characters is. An easier method is to use one of the special color values specified in the TransparentColor documentation. (TransparentColor = TP.FGND) ! 254 = current foreground field color There are several special color values for you to use depending on your needs. Check out the documentation and give it another try. One last note. The DMW diecrtory contains the GDI test program that uses much of what is described here (and more). Check it out.
