This is a volunteer effort remember. Pseudocolor 8bpp looks horrible, so those of us who can avoid it. Most apps that need it are sufficiently brain-dead that they need it as the default visual, so if it were widely implemented everything would look horrible. Having said that, Mark V and I have some ideas about how it could be implemented - talk to us if you are interested in doing it for 4.3.0. -- Dr. Andrew C.
