Appendix B | 85
The static gray palette does not provide gray-mapped
Windows colors for the first and last 10 palette entries.
Because the framebuffer assumes the Windows palette is
in use, applications that draw directly to the framebuffer
display incorrectly. For example, icons and button bitmaps
may display in black and white.
To run DOME calibration software with the static gray
palette, use Calibration TQA 2.0.3 or later.
Color Palette
The color palette displays 8 bits of color (3 bits of red, 3 bits of
green, and 2 bits of blue).
You can change the pixel depth for color display through
the Settings tab in the Display Properties dialog box. Click
Palette Options
and select Color Palette.
Applications cannot set the static gray palette. They must
read the palette from the operating system and use it when
drawing directly to the framebuffer. Application colors
display incorrectly if the application assumes all 8-bit
framebuffers have palettes that can be set.
