Subject: Re: Cursors have magenta backgrounds?
Thank you for the reply.

I don't think it's in the maxr implementation of PCX either. PCX is a very straightforward format, and we need to keep it because the original graphics are in PCX. I think it's SDL2, I had trouble with it recently when re-compiling something, maybe a year ago... When I down-graded the project to SDL1.2 the problem went away. Now if I could only remember what that was...

So nobody else has reported this problem? That's what I wanted to know, and get the topic up here in case anyone else does encounter it.

BTW I think the code re-work is fantastic, the way eveything is parceled out into it's own subdirectory in a very organized and easy to follow manner. I see why it took 4 years to get this release out.

SDL_Image is pretty mature, and we're already using SDL for everything else, so why not? I was actually surprised when cmake didn't go looking for it. The choice of cmake is good too, maybe you guys dislike autotools as much as me Wink

If I solve the magenta-transparency-cursor issue, I will post the details here.
