Hi ziuss2! It is true what our peers above says. You need to fully grasp the fundamentals. And sometimes programming can be tedious and drawn out. I would recommend you sign up for a class at your local school or maybe even take an evening class. Maybe a structured (classroom) environment will help you focus and keep on track. Best of Luck!

You are probably referring to alpha blending which makes bitmaps semi-transparent. In older systems each pixel in a bitmap consisted of 3 fields Red, Green and Blue. With alpha-blending a fourth field, Alpha, is added which gives the opacity of the pixel, from 0 meaning opaque to 255 meaning transparent. One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.
