Hi, I'm currently writing my own plugin (VDR 1.3.37) using - cBitmap::LoadXpm() to load a bitmap and - cOsd::DrawBitmap() to draw it with changed background color (NOT changed foreground color). Because I neither want to change the foreground color nor know the foreground color value (tColor), I think it is good to change this part in cPalette::Take() (osd.c line 77-82): if (ColorFg || ColorBg) { switch (i) { case 0: Color = ColorBg; break; case 1: Color = ColorFg; break; } } to if (i == 0 && ColorBg) Color = ColorBg; if (i == 1 && ColorFg) Color = ColorFg; Eike
