- With 3.0 we have ObtainPen() and ObtainBestPen() to get colors on the
- WB screen, but how is this done on versions of the OS previous to 3.0?
- i.e., if a user has a 32 color WB, can my program use any color it
- wants? Change any color? How does color arbitration work for 2.0?
-
- On my 256 color WB (PicassoII), WB is using colors 0-3 as its
- first four colors and 252-255 as the last four colors and MagicWB
- icons are being displayed in colors 4-7 - giving me a 12 color
- WB. So, how many colors does WB reserve for itself (windows, icons,
- etc.)?
-
- Second, is it possible to make a "sticky" window (like X-Windows)?
- i.e. if a user has a WB screen bigger than the diplay, is there an
- easy way to maintain my window at a display clip relative position?
- So when the user scrolls the screen, my window doesn't move.

- TIA,
