I have a color app that accepts a signature in a portion of a window.
Everything works really well.
I have a gadget which accepts a user's signature and saves the signature
(along with everything else) into a database.

As a test, I have entered 35 records.  Without the user entering a
signature, the file size is approx 4K.
If a user enters a signature in each record, that same file balloons to
490K.

The signature gadget window is 158W x 88H (low-res size).  The graphic
itself is saved as compressed low-res using RLE.  Even on high-density
displays, it is still saved as low-density.

I believe the problem lies in the fact that the signature is saved as 16bpp
color (65K) causing the inflated file size.

I would like the display to still show all color for everything but
display/process/save the signature window as a simple 1-bit file.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Eddie
