If I have GRAFX 2 open in windowed mode and if I alt tab to another window and back, my keyboard shortcuts sometimes get remapped. Any Idea why this is happening or what I am doing wrong? I'm not sure if this is a bug or by design. Simply closing the program and re-opening it will give me my original mappings but this can be annoying. |

I think I sometime had the problem that the program doesn't detect that you released ALT, so all keys that you press are understood as "alt+...". Just pressing and releasing alt fixes it. I can't repeat this problem now on Windows version 2.4. Which version/os are you running ? |

Windows 8. Yes, pressing Alt again got the mappings back. Thanks for the help!

Hey y' know I've also got Grafx2 and I am having trouble loading this image of a sprite with black outlines you see the background is transparent and Grafx2 treats transparency as black so when I fload the image with White the black outlines are gone.
How do I change the default transparency color? |

What format is the original image ? If it's 24bit PNG + alpha channel, there's no way after loading in grafx2 (I never implemented an a loader for alpha channel) In this case you have to convert the file before, using something else (such as XnView). Fill the transparent part with an unused color, or convert to an indexed format such as GIF or PNG8. In this last case, you can choose the transparent color in grafx2 using the "layer" button. |
