[texworks] JPEG rendering problem

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

Sorry for my comments, I took the picture of Bruno Voisin the wrong way: 
the TeXworks is on the *right* with a background (as he mentioned in his 
message) and TeXshop on the left normal without background (but above 
it, is the menu bar showing TeXworks - so I took the left part as TeXworks).

Would you like to have the files which work for me on Windows XP to 
download?
Sorry I can not compile for the Mac.

Alain
