Well your too late to the party for me to show you what I had. I usually delete code that doesn't work because it doesnt "work". I made this thread in hoping you can show me what code I can add that will not work. Not for me to show you code that doesnt work.

if(some_condition_that_makes_clearing_blue)   d3ddev->Clear(0, NULL, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(0, 40, 100), 1.0f, 0);else   d3ddev->Clear(0, NULL, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(0, 0, 0), 1.0f, 0);
