Re: [JAVA3D] Dithering in 256 colors ( Windows )

[Pedro Miguel da Fonseca Marques Ferreira]

Ok, so this means a Windows NT 4.0 user ( wich must use OpenGL versions ) must
run in 64K color mode, right ?
More: On the D3D version, if the user is in 256 color mode, it switches
AUTOMATICALLY to 64K full screen ? What happens to the components other than
Canvas3D. By fullscreen you mean something like "game mode", i.e. all the screen
is occupied by the Canvas3D ?
That appears not to be accetable behaviour ...
