BE,
Honestly, no offense taken.
And it was not 'my texture' - the original is a Povray 3.7 scene file which I
'misused' in my strong belief to put you on the 'right track' when I saw your
first post. So no time for a neat background with tangerine trees and
marshmellow skies and a couple of fairies flying around.

And I am sure that you know what the coder gurus always used to say : RTFM! :))
