Use an xpm with a solid background, eg sequence test test =3D { "24 24 13 1", " c None", "B c #808080", -- the background ". c #000000", "+ c #E4E4DC", "@ c #BE7579", "# c #C67D81", "$ c #2D2D2D", "% c #8A4D4F", "& c #9E575B", "* c #A75E5F", "=3D c #AF6668", "- c #B66D71", "; c #CD8689", "> c #080808", "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB", "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB", "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB", "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB", "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB", "BBBBBBBBBB.........BBBBB", "BBBBBBBBBB.++++++..BBBBB", "BBBBBBBBBB.++++++..BBBBB", "BBBBBBBB...++++++..BBBBB", "BBBBBBBB. at .++++++..BBBBB", "BBB...... at #.++$.+..BBBBB", "BBB.%&*=3D- at #;.+.$+..BBBBB", "BBB.%&*=3D- at #;.++++..BBBBB", "BBB...... at #.+++++..BBBBB", "BBBBBBBB. at .++++++..BBBBB", "BBBBBBBB...++++++..BBBBB", "BBBBBBBBBB.++++....BBBBB", "BBBBBBBBBB.++......BBBBB", "BBBBBBBBBB...>>>>>>BBBBB", "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB", "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB", "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB", "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB", "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB"} change the background colour, eg test[3][7..12]=3D"FF0000" -- Red and stick it on the button setBitmap(Button,createDIB(xpmToEuBmp(test))) I would imagine that the drop-down is just a very narrow button next to the normal sized button. There is a simple palette I inherited in the editor, see options.ew Apparently someone is going to post about 2,500 xpm files real soon now. Pete
