you could always write directly to the screen. 3.0 API's actually had support for grayscale (ie: WinDrawBitmap etc). so, the only time you had 'special' code was pre 3.0, and, thats when you had to tweak the CPU into grayscale (CPU had display controller onboard), and, since you were tweaking, you had to write your own drawing routines, as, the API's were specifically ONLY 1bpp pre 3.0 i am 100% sure of this :) i wrote games for 2.0 :P --- Aaron Ardiri [EMAIL PROTECTED] CEO - CTO +46 70 656 1143 Mobile Wizardry http://www.mobilewizardry.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
