24-bit colour mode is a 16 million colour mode. As yet does not exist in hardware terms - SMSQ2.98 docs say: 'DISP_COLOUR colour depth Specifies the colour depth to be used - 0 for QL, 3 for 16 bit (65536 colours) also 1 for 4 bit (16 colour) 2 for 8-bit (256 colour) and 4 for 24 bit (16 million colours) - but these do not exist' I don't know if the last part refers to the fact that SMSQ/E has no support (yet) for those colour depth modes, or just that there is no hardware with 24 bit support. The theory for 24 bit (true) colour mode is: MODE number 64, 16 million colours, 24 bits, 8 bit RGB colour definition, organised within the long word as rrrrrrrr gggggggg bbbbbbbb -------- (again, I don't know if the lower 8 bits are used for anything...) -- Dilwyn Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.soft.net.uk/dj/index.html -- Dilwyn Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.soft.net.uk/dj/index.html
