Seems to me that when I say: Draw me a rectangle that is (0,0,0(black),0(and transparent)... he says oh, is transparent, so I don't need to paint it, But the problem appears if there was something out there (not transparent) and want to make it transparent, you can't, unless you make a function to make it pixel by pixel. That would explain why it works the first renderings and can't paint over something already painted, although destroyed and recreated. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
