- Doesn't ANYBODY listen to me??
- I read a LOT about this palette gig, and it goes like THIS:
- Every app has a logical palette which is as large as it wants. If the app has
- input focus, the logical palette is fed into remaining slots in the system
- palette, and other logical palettes (or the colors in the app's logical pal
- that don't fit in) are collapsed very cleverly into the existing colors. This
- way everything always looks sensible, while the app in focus doesn't suffer
- from quality detirioration.
- CLEAR?
