Keywords: BMP desktop Message-ID: <26324@hydra.gatech.EDU> Date: 15 Apr 91 14:52:05 GMT References: <1991Apr13.125238.17769@uniwa.uwa.oz> <40976537@bfmny0.BFM.COM> Organization: Georgia Tech Research Institute Lines: 17 One thing that works for me is to make my BMP just a little smaller than full size; i.e. I have an Orchid Pro II which I run at 1024x768x256. I scale my BMP images to 1020x764x256. This leaves a small border around the image which actually looks kind of nice, and will load in enhanced mode. I have a machine at work with a 1280x1024x256 display system. I do the same thing there, making the BMP 4 pixels smaller in each direction. It still works in enhanced mode. Joe -- G.
