perfectly understand you..it's as always, in the balances, between cleaning code an keeping old stuff compileable.

after 2 or 3 years one easily can speak of 'porting' Wink

i think making code clean is quite important as well, w.r.t newcomers espcially. in my case, i was struggeling with this thing for hours, since deriving from StaticRect created problems and didnt know why..before i realized the problem. never expected it there.
again, it's even a thing that gets messed up the longer it pervails in code, since others continue using the screwed API, and esecially this one is nasty, it pllutes the code with class::Color stuff everywhere. people are going to continu to ask in forum Smile

cheers

EDIT: if desired i can send you a patch to what currently is affected in upp and bazaar...
