Tnx, working with different res/depth is much clearer to me, now i need
advice of experienced programer: i am developing game with lots of
FORMBITMAP-s.
What is standard resolutions/color depths to support much device i can?
I thinking something like this:
160 x 160 - 1bpp
160 x 160 - 8bpp
160 x 160 - 16bpp
240 x 240 - 1bpp
240 x 240 - 8bpp
240 x 240 - 16bpp
320 x 320 - 1bpp
320 x 320 - 8bpp
320 x 320 - 16bpp
I this ok, example maybe 320x320 1bpp device don`t exist? I also thinking
more to support newer devices then older so i dint take 2bpp ,4bpp color.
Tnx for advice.
