Just to augment Robby's response, the two ways exist precisely because they have different defaults. We have lots of code that uses `(make-object bitmap% ...)' and expects a bitmap without an alpha channel. In new code, however, we almost always want an alpha channel; the new function makes it easy to get the right default. Ill adjust the docs to clarify which defaults change in `make-bitmap' compared to `bitmap%', instead of just saying "more useful defaults". _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
