Hi again everyone. I have tried implementing the advice you gave me. The checker pattern works pretty nice, even though I can see the checks if I look closely. I made a small checker pattern in Paint, then copied and pasted it repeatedly to get a larger checker pattern. Then I did a masked paste over my icon bmp. So that's that I guess - too bad there's no way to adjust the alpha level of an image.

Anyway, I tried using rectoverlap for selecting the icons, but I am not quite sure how to do it. Could someone give me some more details on this please? (Currently I am using the rectangle picking from the code archives to select on-screen units as opposed to unit icons). Thanks!
