Thank Jason,

I think your suggestion will work nicely.  I'll look to the menu library
for guidance.

Is there an easy way to create simple overlays using VESS, or using OSG?

I'm anxiously awaiting the next version of VESS - I think this toolkit
is awesome.


You can create a second pane (on top of your main vsPane) and set its
clear mask to 0x0, so it is never cleared.  As long as you add the
overlay pane to the window _after_ the main pane, it should always be on
top.  Then, whatever you draw in the overlay pane will be visible on top
of your main pane.

You might also want to look at the menu library.  There may be some
helpful things in there (depending on what you're trying to do).

VESS 4.1.0 is really close now  :-)
