I want to use a button (it's a bitmap(125x75)) in the middle of the screen.
Now I
blit a black/white-bitmap of that button directly behind the originally one.
When the button is pressed with left mouse button I try to check if the
color behind is white. I use:

col = getpixel(buttonbw, mouse_x, mouse_y);
if (col = 255)
    button_pressed();

When the button is pressed in the middle of the screen, the return col
is -1. But if I press the left mouse button in the upper left corner, the
return col is 255 but the b/w button is in the middle of the screen. And it
seems as the button would be in the upper left corner but is shown in
SCREEN_W / 2 - button->w/2, SCREEN_H / 2 - button->h/2
