Focus_mask issues part 2

Haha sorry for the thread name, but reading the other thread remembered me I had a problem too. I defined a screen with LOTS of BIG imagebuttons with focus mask:
Here works, is a bit slow but works, but on Aleema computers it doesn't recognize the focus mask at all (so even the transparent part of the sprites get focus). I am not sure what is the reason, she had problems before the 6.13.8 version (game was crashing) so maybe she doesn't have a videocard with lots of VRAM or something else.
Just thought to point out since is very different behavior using same code on two PCs.

Ok I was able to reproduce the bug even on my PC, is quite simple:
- if you use OpenGL the focus mask works correctly
- if you use DirectX/Angle, the focus mask is ignored and even the transparent part of the image get focus
so I think I just found a bug or at least very different behavior from GL/DX versions.

I will be investigating this over the weekend.

I figured out and fixed the problem. Basically, I was using GL_BYTE, rather than GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE. GL_BYTE is basically useless, as it represents 128 rather than 256 colors per channel, so they removed it from OpenGL ES. The code, which is really simple, worked with the smaller range - but it didn't work on ES, since the call totally failed.
Took me a couple days to track it down, but it's gone now.

Cool, one less bug to worry about
