Well...

I wrote this function that draws a box(title bar in my case).

you must input:
a pattern type(explained in the code)
an x and y start point
an x and y end point
an initial color
and a final color

based on your input it will draw a box(title bar) that fades from the initial color to the final color(and back).

you fellow "programmers" might hate me for this but i have a bad habit of programming in CAPS <sorry>

...tell me what you think...

                                     :`WHERE "I" REFERS TO THE INITIAL COLOR

B.T.W. - if you didn't know, what i do is:
(1)make the title bar i want
(2)execute the program
(3)press "alt" and "prt sc" at the same time
(4)open up "ms paint"
(5)press "ctrl" and "v" at the same time
(6)cut out all but the title bar
(7)save as image
(8)then i use it as a sprite
- it works much faster in DBP that way

That's pretty sweet. Check out the "get image" and "save image" commands. Will save you messing around with MS paint.
