+- The OSD now has full TrueColor support. There can be several "pixmaps" that can
+ be overlayed with alpha blending. All existing skins should work out of the box
+ with the TrueColor OSD - the only exception being cOsd::GetBitmap(). Since the
+ TrueColor OSD doesn't use bitmaps, this function will return a dummy bitmap, which
+ may not be what the plugin expects. As long as this bitmap is only used for setting
+ the palette, there is no problem. However, any other operations on this bitmap will
+ have no effect. See the description of the cPixmap functions in osd.h for details
+ about the new functionalities.
+ The "ST:TNG Panels" skin has been enhanced to automatically use the TrueColor OSD
+ if available.
+ The "osddemo" plugin has been extended to show some of the possibilities of the
+ TrueColor OSD if it is run on a system that actually provides TrueColor support.
+ Thanks to Reinhard Nissl for some valuable input, help with debugging, and an
+ implementation of the AlphaBlend() function.
