I had to use some colours and they were the most >convenient ones available. OK - often AWT and Applets are associated because the OP feels it advantageous to target/support Java 1.1*. If that is not the case, I recommend you stick to using Swing (the GUI toolkit that most people are actively using and familiar with). * No, it is not.

Can you produce the equivalent frame source? Perhaps that will help explain the behaviour. (Shrugs) I looked at your example, even changed it in various ways, but could not get that flickering effect out of it. -- Andrew Thompson http://www.athompson.info/andrew/ Message posted via JavaKB.com http://www.javakb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/java-gui/200709/1 --- * Synchronet * The Whitehouse BBS --- whitehouse.hulds.com --- check it out free usenet! --- Synchronet 3.15a-Win32 NewsLink 1.92 Time Warp of the Future BBS - telnet://time.synchro.net:24
