On the other hand the two latter issues are probably something barely noticable to anybody ... using a 16 colour mode when using something like ArtWorks is probably something nobody expected anymore...
Your're right about that but it's worth mentioning somewhere that transparency doesn't work in 16 colour modes. The problem with textline and textarea needs to be solved because it makes Artworks unstable (I get abort on data transfer) when trying to deselect a textarea in 16 colour mode or less.
