It's not just what you did to me, but your general behaviour against other
people, including me. It's your tone that's very unfriendly.  Your use of
punctuation (like the use of three questionmarks in "(why using x for a
color???)", which makes it look like you think only retarded people use 'x'
inside a color-definition, when 'x' just types about three times faster than
'red' and gives exactly the same results and 'a more minimal code' (which
was meant to be a joke, but you didn't seem to get it)), your choice of
words and your complete lack of humour (or smileys... it looks like you're
someone who never laughs...  At least I can't imagine you laughing or even
smiling).
There's nothing wrong with *what* you say, just with *how* you say it.  And
I know I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Come to think of it... the way I'm saying things, can use some improvement
too, or did anyone actually understand the nested brackets in the paragraph
above without reading it more than once? :)

...but I have now, but apparently the way it should be done is the way I
thought it should be done, so again: this was never meant to be a
bug-report, just a question: did I miss something, or might this be a bug?


pff, maybe I shouldn't have put the word "bug" in the subject...

strange...  I'll try it later today on my WinXP-computer, now first I'm
going to check if I really used identical settings.

The difference might be 3.6.1 vs. 3.6

hmm, I have 3.6.1 apparently

I checked my settings, they were identical and did give those different
results, but when I removed +ua from my settings, 3.5 and 3.6 gave the same
result.

weirdness! :)

I get the same result using that setting. You should
be sure to identify your settings and the full version
next time. I know I always miss something too, so
don't take that suggestion harshly. Just trying to
help. Have a great day!

ok, anybody else?  A non-windows user if possible? :)

Don't worry, I don't :)  I just thought, since I used exactly the same
settings, it doesn't matter what the settings are.  Guess I was wrong :-/
sorry for that

Anyway, the settings I used, apart from the default settings: +fn +ua +sp8
+ep4, using POV-Ray for windows v3.5 and V3.6.1

I get pretty identical images for 3.5, 3.6 and 3.6.1 when using the 
default settings.

Using +UA, however, I get the effect you describe, i.e. the highlight in 
3.6 and 3.6.1 looks different.

Oh, yes, most of the time he is helpful, but, well, not always very friendly :-/

Anyway, Thorsten, if I insulted you, I'm sorry, I was a little on the edge :-/
