Hello Marcel,
Try checking the following:
a) make sure your bitmap is saved using 8-bit mode; bring the bitmap editor
to the foreground and select the Colors menu to set the color depth.
b) color bitmaps require the use of bitmap/icon families (that's my
understanding). Create a bitmap family, set the bitmap family image size to
the same size as your bitmap, create a family item and set it to 8-bit
color. You could stop here, but for portability reasons you should also
create a black and white version of said bitmap and put it as family item as
well (but with 1, 2 or 4-bit color). Check out the Palm OS 3.5 SDK Address
and Memo examples for an idea of how bitmap families are used.
c) I assume that you already have it, but you do also need the Palm OS 3.5
SDK libraries, etc. in order to use color. No other SDKs accepted.

Subject: display of color bitmap in palm
Hi all,
I would like to display a color bitmap, but after working a 8-bit
picture on the constructor, I could just get a black-and-white picture.
Could anyone help me with this please? Thanks.
Marcel
