Darrel, good work. I find it very useful!

I can't understand: ABitmapEditor work with 32-bit bitmap without support alpha channel or support it.

And I think that color of free space (without bitmap) must be COLOR_APPWORKSPACE or user can have the way to chose it free.

KSS,

Thanks for the encouraging reply.

I can't understand: ABitmapEditor work with 32-bit bitmap without support alpha channel or support it.

Sounds like something useful for me to add.

And I think that color of free space (without bitmap) must be COLOR_APPWORKSPACE or user can have the way to chose it free.

The background color is COLOR_BACKGROUND, which the user has complete control over.

Darrel,

The background color is COLOR_BACKGROUND, which the user has complete control over.

Ok, I am understand. But, please add support for chose what system's color used as background color (If you have time). This is very useful for me.
And (if you want) add support for lang-pack. (I like English, but my native language is more useful for me :bg)

And thank You for your work! Really great! :clap:

KSS,

You can go to Display Properties and set the background color. It's the color you choose for your desktop if you have no wallpaper.

Language issues are farther down the road.

Darrel,
I known how chanke bgcolor of desktop and I not use bg image.
Every time when I need change color (bitmap-editor free space) I must change windows settings??? :dazzled:

[Darrel]

As it stands right now, the Registry is not used. If for some reason I have to use the Registry, I'll consider addding the option to set the background color. I may eventually do it anyway.

Darrel
