Red and blue channels appear to have been swapped. I think that some displays use BGR colours, could this be a cause?

I think that MSDN Page I linked to above needs updating

No, its correct...look at what COLORREF has to say:

Quote: "When specifying an explicit RGB color, the COLORREF value has the following hexadecimal form:

0x00bbggrr The low-order byte contains a value for the relative intensity of red; the second byte contains a value for green; and the third byte contains a value for blue. The high-order byte must be zero. The maximum value for a single byte is 0xFF. "

To be fair, its on the page linked to by that, and I never have thought MS was clear. Finding that stuff is a pain with online docs, too.

btw, I only came in here because I thought that was a pretty cool thing you are doing...like your other stuff.

Cheers, and I like the Silent Bob avatar, as well!
