Is there any way to stop the images on the screen from going black or flickering black when the user accesses a menu or resizes the window (by pulling the lower right corner)? This seems to be a serious issue and frankly makes the developed software look like total crap.

This shouldn't happen with regular redraws - How often are you flipping the canvas ?
You will find that any software that bitblts onto a canvas-type object will do the same thing? Repainting is not automatic.

The canvas is flipped every loop just like most b+ or b3d programs. I downloaded other b+ apps and they do they same thing (such as GUIde). It seems that when accessing any window or menu features... The b+ program locks and nothing is redrawn until you are done with using the window itself. Any ideas why? Also I am using png images.. and I noticed that Mark's demo's with b+ do not do this blackening. I think the reason why is because he is using b+ commands to draw to screen and not using image files.
