Palette Mode
In the Palette Mode section you can choose one of the four following
Palette Modes.If you are using a color display in conjunction with your
Barco grayscale display(s) under Windows 2000 or Windows XP, prior to
selecting a palette mode please make certain that you have configured
your Window 2000 or Windows XP desktop correctly. (See the section
“Setting the resolution of your Nio display”
on page 105.)
Color to Gray Compatibility
Use this palette option for applications, such as Java, which require True
Color support. Such applications may not work correctly when using one
of Barco's three “Standard 8-bit (256-color)” palette modes. All
applications that are designed to work correctly with 8-bit (256-color)
modes should continue to work normally.
Please note that dithering is not used while in this mode. The Enable
Dithering check box will be grayed-out, and dithering will be
automatically disabled regardless of whether this check box is checked.
This complies with the Windows standard interface method.
Also, please note that direct access to the hardware through DirectDraw
is not allowed in this mode. The Enable DirectDraw check box will be
grayed-out, and DirectDraw’s access to the hardware will be
automatically disabled regardless of whether this check box is checked.
DirectDraw is still usable through DirectDraw’s Hardware Emulation
Layer.
UserModifiable Color Palette
This option allows applications to modify the palette contents
dynamically. As indicated in figure 23, this mode reserves the first 10
and last 10 entries in the palette for the Windows operating system, but
applications can manipulate the middle 236 entries. This is the standard
palette mode as configured by Windows.
