Known problems

 
Pocket Cortona supports the GIF "transparency color" feature, which maps one color in the image as fully transparent, but if the color map of the GIF image is composed of only gray hues, it is not modulated by Material diffuseColor;

 
Semi-transparent values in PNG image file format with alpha channel and PNG "transparency color" are not available;

 
The repeatS and repeatT fields of the ImageTexture node are always interpreted as TRUE;

 
Playing the sounds with the Sound node only for the local WAV files;

 
To produce equally lighted text, use the emissiveColor field of the Material node to set the Text color, and set all other material properties to zero.

 
Pocket Cortona ActiveX control does not work in an HTML page on Pocket PC 2003 because the threading model for ActiveX controls is changed in the last version of Pocket Internet Explorer.
