- I've been to my Amiga-Dealer and I now have a different Picasso II card
- in my Amiga 2000 but the problems remain :(
-
- The Icons got their colours back cause of 'PatchWBPens' :)
- I've found this before I read your reply.
- But I'm gonna try MagicColors sometime :)

- >: If I drag icons I get the same garbage.

- If you are refering to the village.library in SYS:Expansion,
- I have version 2.58 and it's not doing ok.
- I have set my WorkBench to 128 Colours now and all works fine.
- I guess I can live with a 128 Colour WorkBench but still 256 would
- be nicer :)

- This is really annoying :(
- AmIRC runs on a 256 colour screen.
- If I only have one window open all is ok.
- But as soon as I open a new window (#channel) the inactive window gets
- this weird character trashing (2 lines of the same text or only half
- parts of letters :(
- This also occurs when I get an incoming private message and a new window
- opens for the messages.
-
-
- >: If anybody has any idea or suggestion It would be greatly appreciated :)
- >Hope this helps...

- Well, Next Week I'll be getting CyberGraphX. Maybe that will help.
