Title: Plug-in colormap problems

Date: June 26, 1995


Problem:

When using the Pixel!Scan Plug-in and the cursor is moved over the Plug-in window, the color map changes. When the cursor is moved off of the Plug-in window, normal colors are seen once again.

Cause:

SGI machines that have high resolution video boards ( Z buffer ) will experience this problem.

Solution:

There is an Adobe resource file called /.Xdefaults that needs to have the following line added.

*visualClass: TrueColor
