same here - crash when I press 'View' button, just after screen init.

How did I ever miss DWIMNWIS? I could have used that one

...so just how strong is your cat then, milan?

Just ask for help with each problem you can see coming up in the program you want to write and then when srod, Sparkie, Netmaestro etc post the solutions just join 'em together and you're done.

Shhh! You're giving away my secret

I was slightly wrong about the color space - the best space to work in is HSL, which is similar to HSV but provides more explicit control of a color's "whiteness". Since this is a multiply filter, the closer to white the tint color is the less it will affect the target image. Here is an example of ...

It's still possible, you just need to work in HSV color space instead of RGB. In HSV, the hue and saturation will control the color of the tint, and the value will control the amount. The only problem is that PureBasic doesn't provide primitives for working with colors in HSV-space, so you need to ...

The code below is what I have been using for image tinting. It doesn't shift color channels; it's actually a multiply filter. As such, the amount of tint is controlled by the value of the multiply color. This example operates on an image in-place, but modifying it to return a new image would be ...

@pdwyer: you're probably referring to Cedega, which is a commercialized version of wine that puts emphasis on game support. It's still a pain in the neck to configure and mostly a waste of time (although I will say that once you get some games actually running under wine/cedega they feel faster than ...

RE: KDE4

There was a philosophy behind this version that had me excited when I first heard about it, because the KDE folks assembled a team of artists, designers & usability experts to envision what they hoped would be an evolutionary step in OS look-n-feel. Now it's out, and what a friggin ...

I don't feel like going to the trouble to upload a pic, so here's the text version of where I stand:

Economic Left/Right: -6.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.56

That puts me about as far left as Gandhi, but a fair bit more libertarian.

You made me think back to what I remember as a nightmarish project I once completed over a single weekend of coding in Python. I just went back and checked it, and the number of lines (just the wheat, no chaff) totaled only 1446 lines. So I stand in awe of your 1200 in a day, sir

srod, that's a bit complicated for something like finding out if a single point is inside a window's client area, dontcha think? I've never actually used MapWindowPoints_(), so I could be wrong - in which case I'd be happy to see some code

A slight aside on the Energy Cost front... we DO pay more for energy in Texas (and the rest of the gulf coast!) because we have to run our AC from MARCH to DECEMBER.

San Francisco pays more for electricity, but the average tep in san fran is 68f... They have more than 32 days a year over 80f and ...

Here's an example of what I was thinking of with GetClientRect_():
OpenWindow(0, #PB_Ignore, #PB_Ignore, 300, 300, "")

in.b = #False
Repeat
ev = WaitWindowEvent(10)
GetCursorPos_(@pt.POINT)
ScreenToClient_(WindowID(0), @pt)
GetClientRect_(WindowID(0), @rc.RECT)
If PtInRect_(@rc, pt\x, pt\y ...

Have you tried GetClientRect_()?
