32bit on Vista is OK here if you turn Aero off, which is further confirmation of I-don't-know-what

Confirmed.

Perhaps due to the lack of composition thus being performed by the desktop manager. Strange.

The message is clear though - stick to 24-bits for such things!

btw, I believe this happened while you were on vacation, they changed the default image depth back to 24bits for v4.40 beta 2.

also btw as I don't think I mentioned it, excellent work with the objects here!

Ah yes, the 24-bit default does make sense.

As for the objects; I just translated the Aurora code and added the bits required by Purebasic. Thanks anyhow.

If I create an executable with the above code, do I need to include any dependencies with it, because of the import above? Or will my executable be standalone?

Also, the height variable is 600 but if I send www.google.com to it, then the image gadget is way larger than the home page of Google. Is there a way to know the correct real height of the web page?

Actually srod wrote that. As to dependencies, all you should have to worry about is this from the PB docs for the web gadget:

PB Doc for Web Gadget wrote:Note: on Microsoft Windows the WebGadget uses the Internet Explorer 4.0+ ActiveX object. This means that IE has to be installed (already present on Win98/Me and Win2000/XP). The ATL.dll, present in the PureBasic\Compilers\ directory is also needed, and must be in the same directory as the executable.

On the size, I don't know. But I believe most web pages these days are written to stretch out to the window size.
