Hi,

I would like to draw images in the fastest possible but a yet highly compatible 
way on 0S5.x Palm devices. In the past I've worked with pre-OS5 Palm devices a 
lot but I've just started learning the "new" OS, so advices would be welcome...

1, rendering directly to screen buffer is still a viable alternative or a no-no?

2, do current devices have the same screen characteristics (I mean they are 
all(?) 16-bit hicolor now but they may differ in bit order: 565, 565LE, etc)

3, do devices really support indexed color displays? Will my 256 color mapped 
image be rendered as-is or an 8-bit to 16-bit pixel-by-pixel remapping takes 
place when I call, for example, WinDrawBitmap()?

So should I stick to CLUT or rather 565 images?

I hope I didn't sound too silly.

Regards,
delon
