I'm working on an intro and i'd like to use fade-in and fade-out effects, sometimes to be applied to single sprites or images (transparent PNGs). Any idea how to accomplish that?

here is a command you might want to look at
dbFadeBitmap
This command will fade the contents of a specified Bitmap. You must specify a fade value that sets the level of fading from zero which fades the bitmap completely to black, up to 100 which does not fade the bitmap at all. Fade operations are slow and the completion time depends on the size of the bitmap.

Syntax
void dbFadeBitmap ( int iBitmap, int iFade )

unsure if related but the line dbSetDisplayMode (1280,1024,0);
shouldnt the color depth be at least 32?

Color depth is over ridden in window mode, I believe.

Thats why you sometimes get those angry messages from applications demanding you lower color depth to 16 bit.. atleast, you used to.
