Why do i need the 1 bit ???????? "Kevin OKeefe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:84668@palm-dev-forum...
You'll be saving memory with the cheapest bitmaps though. You should probably support 1bit, but can probably ditch the 2bit images. That 1bit image isn't going to take that much space anyways, relative to your multi-bit images.

(bitmaps takes a lot of storage). thanks Amir "Joe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:84520@palm-dev-forum... > > --- Amir Kirshenboim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What bitmaps depth should i put for the bitmaps in each > > Bitmap family, if my application is be targeted for palm > > OS 3.1 and later ? > > (for example, is the 1 bit depth relevante, or the 2 bit ?) > > For most situations, you just need to use a 1 bit (B&W) and an 8 bit > (color) bitmap.
