yes, use bitmap family..in fact i didn't even thought about possibility you don't use them, because i always do.
in my applications which should be portable i use to have b&w single density, 4bpp single density, 16bpp single density, 16bpp double density and i always set 16bpp mode when its possible (color devices), if not then 4bpp to have at least shades of grey on application targeted to new devices only i have empty b&w (otherwise palm will mess dimensions, there always must be one single density item to be on safe side, but it may be just white picture so compression will make it really little) and one double density 16bpp btw to set 16bpp mode i do this d=16; errc=WinScreenMode(winScreenModeSet,NULL,NULL,&d,NULL); Luc Le Blanc wrote: > Michal seliga: > >> why don't you set depth to 16 when you set it? > > I had ruled out 16-bit color since I use 8-bit color indexes for drawing, but > I just tried it, and my button is still in B+W.
