- You just select a 16-color workbench. You could do a 16 color workbench
- in Wb2.0 Wb2.1 and Wb2.04 and Wb2.05. It's just that Wb3.0 can go up to a
- 256 color workbench in a whole lot of resolutions and settings. But with
- a 16 color workbench only, it is hard to make 16 color icons that look
- good from computer to computer, so often 4 color icons are still used.
- With a 256 on screen pallette, you are more inclined to do 16 color or
- 32 color icons since you aren't as worried about color limitations that
- you want in your picture.
- -- Hope this helps.
- If in doubt, check out Prefs/Screenmode.
