    I remember being pretty impressed by Starion at the time. When you started a game, you got a countdown, and all the numbers were full screen, including the border. Wondered what the hell was going on at first!

    You don't.

    You change the border colour at precise time intervals. It takes a fixed amount of time to draw portions of the border, just as it does with the screen.

    You see it all the time - loading border anyone?

    There was a very simple basic program in the Dutch manual which did this trick. It displayed the dutch and german flag (if I remember correctly) in the border.

    I was always impressed with the high resolution border in Paperboy.

    Crash magazine once did a tape of utility programs called "The Crash Tech Tape" (I Think) which included a program for saving programs in turbo load form. It definately had options for changing the border colours (probably not rainbow coloured though).
