Thank you very much Matt and Derek.
"1.0back - 1.0 forward" and rgb=8,8,8 makes the thing work. I was mainly
fooled by the 5bit thing: because I need the picture to be definitively
altered by the fading, I do not draw a progressively darker/lighter GsBOXF
each frame, but the same one each frame. So I tried some values like
(0,0,0), (1,1,1), (255,255,255) and this obviously wasn't good.
Just one more question to check that I understood things right: are the 3
lower bits of the r,g,b fields unused?
