could you provide a patch?
I will, after I figure it out.
Another oddity is that this function does NOT transfer directly if source is color bitmap. It will flatten it to grayscale then blend that with provided foreground color.
I understand this was added to implement the MS COLR/CPAL stuff. But can be made a lot more useful with the two changes I'm requesting now.
