At first it is only possible to include _one_ version (color depth) of an bitmap. It is not possible to include alternatives of an Image. It is possible by hacking the parser code a little bit i guess, but since the maximum size of an Image Object are 60KB (an Image with more than one color depth are still one bitmap object) you will get problems with the maximum size if you try to put more version of an larger image together. But if you are running OS3.5 or above the palm OS will reduce the colors of Bitmaps if the Bitmap are a higher Color Depth than the current screen Depth, but this use a simple nearest color matching (i guess!) and its look ugly sometimes. OK, this do not help you but why do you wan't do this, you waste memory by creating such Databases. If you wan't make your Databases public available i suggest you to provide an 1bpp version (work on _all_ devices) and maybe an Color (bpp 8) version. And all be happy. OR if you still really wan't only one DB. You could put the "select you color depth" links on the first page and put the different color versions on the subpages. cu, Dirk -- Permanent URLs to the latest Version (1.1.13) of the Plucker Windows installer - For the Webpage: http://www.dirk-heiser.de/plucker - Direct Download: http://www.dirk-heiser.de/plucker/plucker.exe [2.08MB]
