What platforms are you familiar with that support 3-bit color? I've never heard
of any (the implication of which being that the Palm doesn't support 3-bit
color).

If you ever need to find out what bit depths are supported on any device, you
can find out by calling WinScreenMode (which, I believe, was added in Palm OS
3.0).

Subject:  2 or 3-bit color support for Palm III and V?



Hi,

I'm new to the forum.  I've searched the Palm
database, but am having trouble finding results
that
provide me with a straight-forward answer (in
lay-person terms) to my question.  Could someone
please tell me:

What image format is supported by the Palm III
and V?
Is 2-bit color only supported by both, or can
3-bit
color be used?

If 3-bit color can only be used for the newer
Palm, is
there a script that is safe to use which can
choose
the image format (if both are loaded) that is
supported by a the Palm version being used?

Or is it safest just to design using 2-bit color?

Thanks!

Rachel
