Well, looks great!
But there is some minor bug - you can see it on the 01.bmp picture
from this .zip:
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/russian/colors.zip
A story is the next one.
I run xpmmer, at first, the current color is just black.
Then I choose the transparent color, and then load the .xpm file.
See please the background in the little Color window.
Do you see it becomes something greenny?
It is not that terrible, just unexpected.
Then, there is a global problem with the transparent color
at all. No one of known icon editors has a good representation
for that *none* color.
Andy, let us have it as it is shown on the 02.bmp picture or
as something similar on your own taste, say, as '+' sign or as
'-' sign or ... as any good just black sign on the current
background of the editor window. It is just a black sign of
the transparent (none) color. See please the examples of those
4 transparent pixels in the left down corner of the canvas greed
(02.bmp).
Ok? For now, that's all ...
Good Luck!

Igor Kachan
