What do you mean by this? If you are looking at the currect screen depth of the device it's quite possible it's in 8-bit mode. Just because a device has the capability to operate in 16-bit mode doesn't mean it's always in that mode. You can set a color device to operate in monocrome mode if you want to. Many of the drawing functions are significantly faster in 256 color mode and the image quality of basic bitmaps between 8bit and 16bit is insignificant enough to allow this. You can use WinScreenMode to return the supported color depths of the device and also to set the screen mode. Use winScreenModeGetSupportedDepths to detect supported color depths on the device. I've done a lot of work with WinScreenMode on countless different devices and it has always worked as described. I'd be very surprised if it contained any bugs (although it's possible). -- Tim Kostka http://www.nuprograms.com "Sinoptic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hi everyone! > > I work with Sony Clie NX-60 device (which has 16-bit color screen) > > and use PalmOS 5.x hi-resolution API in my software. > > > > > > and 16-bit (which is true) on Sony Clie Simulator. > > When I disregard 8-bit from "WinScreenMode" and set 16-bit on real device > (because I know) > > it works excellent, it seems that "WinScreenMode" in getting screen depth > doesn't work correctly > > with Clie NX series.
