I think the 24 bit colour problem is from one of the libraries Netscape 4.6 (and WP 8) was compiled with. Do a search in the mail archive and and in Deja for more info. It seems to be a problem only at 24 bit. The other problem I've never seen before, maybe another netscape bug, I'm currently running at 16 bit myself. Bill
