Hey, having some issues with some screens atm, If i've set a bmp for a screen, when it changes the image is still displayed over the top of whatevers dislpayed on the screen... Any ideas on solving this?
I've tried using a screen which is just a blank image, but that doesnt seem to work, and its a bit of a hack!

Thanks :D

You need to make a background bitmap for every screen you make.

I've got some all filled in bmps created... but they dont seem to wanna "display"...
Trying them on their own produces the same, even adding a few pixels not filled in, still dont seem to wanna display... :oops: :oops:

Recheck your paths/filenames, bitmap has to be 1bit B/W.

Are you editing in photoshop or paint? In photoshop u convert to grayscale to edit the image then convert back to bitmap and they work.

Here is a clear back image: http://www.redhotfilament.net/lcdinfo/clearback.rar

If you want you can email me the working and non working bitmaps and maybe I could have a look with a hex editor and try to see why it doesn't work.
