Re: Sprite.Draw only drawing solid black?

awesome! both Color.Transparent && Color.FromArgb(255,255,255,255) worked
perfectly.

I tried monkeying around with the colors earlier, but didnt think to try
transparent. Unfortunately I don't fully understand what that parameter
controls - I'm guessing it's something to do with hue shifting.

At any rate... Thanks for your help!!! :)
