Thanks for writing, Bill.  I got your email as well, still catching up
on my In Box after the long holiday weekend.  Replying here is just as good.

4W devo does not alter the IDE's backdrop settings.  And unfortunately,
I'm not able to reproduce that here.

If you open LC's Prefs you should be able to turn off the backdrop from
there.

If you have any other details which might help me reproduce that I'll be
happy to see what I can do, but AFAIK there are no interactions between
4W devo's prefs and LC's.

Another oddity that I'm afraid I can't reproduce.  But then again, I
spend relatively little time in LC with the IDE's Tool Palette open.
I'll play around with it and see what I can find.  If you come up with a
step-by-step recipe for me to follow that would help.

Thanks for the report.
