<DIV><SPAN class=173020309-06072001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have
a very strange "problem" with my EXCEED colors.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=173020309-06072001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>As I
said in my previous email, I'm using PSEUDO colors in EXCEED and TRUE color in
my video driver but I can't see 32 IA colors in one of my AW51b ("bad" AW5b).
BUT I see without any problem all colors (including blink ones) in
another AW51b with the same PC configuration. In fact, if I open first open
the "good" AW51b I can see all the colors. Then, when I open the "bad"
AW51b </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=173020309-06072001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>all
colors appears! Why?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=173020309-06072001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
think that there is a "color palette" in the IA that EXCEED uses when the DM is
open the first time... What's the file?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=394223608-07062001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Having the ability to configure your system with true color support and
have blinking colors is a problem which can only be solved with eXceed 6.1 or
higher and some other X servers available to day (Reflection is one that come
to mind).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=394223608-07062001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=394223608-07062001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Basically your options are correct: you must have "Pseudo Color"
support whenever you select more than 256 color depth in Windows.When selectin
Pseudo Color you must select "true color" in your video driver. (i.e. true
color, 24bit 32bit but NOT high color)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=394223608-07062001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>This
is the ONLY supported configuration. Other MAY work but there's no warranty
whatsoever.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=394223608-07062001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=394223608-07062001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
good news: There is NO warranty anyway. Having true color and blinking colors
at the same time can be ruined by the video driver you have. Try to get the
latest one (or better: get to the one that works best).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=394223608-07062001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=394223608-07062001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
disagree with the remark that it does not bring any advantages as oppsed to
having 256 colors.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=394223608-07062001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>For
instance our beloved "clippy the lovely Office assistent" can consume a lot of
the standard availbale colors in which case you can end up with a desktop
blinking at the rate of the blink task because the working color palette is
changin to accomdate clippy's needs.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=394223608-07062001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Many
applications these days assume more than 256 colors available, so it is nice
go have more.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
