2001-03-20 Thread Bastien Nocera
Hi, Best would be to wait for the very next version of Window Maker (0.65.0 that would be). It includes a dependency on the Hermes library, for dithering and such which should solve people having garbled screens, like in this screenshot: http://hadess.net/files/not-mine/ppc-problem-with-15bpp.png
