pmode and all that is setup up already, but I was wondering how you would go about blending two background colors together in fasm.. thanks!

Alpha blending of the text onto a background bitmap ?

If that is the case, check the net for some alpha blending algorithm. You will need to switch to graphics mode to be able to do that though.

What graphics mode do you use? In default mode 0x13, its harder to blend colors because you're dealing with the palette - using the RGB encoding it's alot easier. For example, to print a 50% transparent image into your current background image, for every pixel:

(Red value for background pixel) + (Red value for image) SHR 1

Same for green and blue, and for every pixel the image would be on.
