I am trying to write an elaborate Menu, having 1 main menu Bar and 8 Drop down Menu's. Iam using the 800x600 Mode and am trying to make up my mind on whether to make 8 full screen bitmaps showing the main menu bar & 1 dropped down Menu or to make 1 fullscreen Menu with bar and 8 bitmaps of just the indiviual drop down Menu's. Each One I've made fullscreen or indiviual takes up the same amount of bytes. I don't have the faintest idea Why. Any help would be appreciated! ! !

A bitmap is an array of pixels. If the height, width, depth and compression ratio are common to two different bitmaps, it doesn't matter what it looks like, it will be the same. This goes also for video and audio.

Who wants cake? I've got a little slice of hell for everyone.

I gave the 1st bitmap x & y as 640 x 480 and the second bitmap x& y as 100 x 200 yet both were the same 1,146,210 bytes. Can't figure it out?
