I'm just curious. What advantages do we have from that?

These better suit smaller devices. I'm not an expert on that topic, but I haven't seen a device with just 256 colors in a very long time. I wonder if it really makes sense to optimize for this. These colour-related issues are really interesting. :-) I'm always surprised how seemingly simple topics can be really complex when transferred to a professional level. :-) Just take your time to make a good colour decision. It's better to do that now than to change all the icons later. :-) -Guenther _______________________________________________ Etoile-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss
