I use an internal scandoubler on my A1200 and it doesn't allow for blackborder or overscan as far as I can see... anyone know if there is a way around it or if one just have to learn to live with it?


I too have an internal A1200 scandoubler.  Black border programs (such as MCP) don't work on the Workbench screen, but do on all other programs' screens.  Figure that one out. :-?   However overscan on the workbench screen works just fine.  What screen mode are you using?  (I recommend NTSC, PAL or Euro36)

Good luck,
Mike

I think I know whats going on there. I bet the borders are grey on your workbench screen. In fact, for all the screens I bet the borders are colour index zero of your palette. (Which will explain why its fine for other porgrams). Have you tried going into Palette prefs and setting colour zero to black and colour 2 to grey? I think that might help


Say, I think you're right!  Actually now, I do remember looking into this once, but because I was using Magic WB at the time it's color scheme was very specific.  Now that I've got 3.9, will have to look into this again.

Thanks,
Mike
