- : Here's my problem: I use the WB with a 256 color 1024x768 screen and a nice
- : background picture (256 colors). The WB now reduces the colors to approx.
- : 140 colors out of 256. Only the first 8 colors are blocked by a color
- : deamon. Since the last 4 colors are used as well by the WB, there are in
- : total 12 colors which can't be used by the picture.
-
- : 256 - 14 = 242
-
- : Why is the WB reducing the colors to #140 and not using the remaining 242?
-
- Color reduction by the datatypes is pretty bad :-(
- Use the new picture datatype and a 16/24 bit screen :-)
