Hi James,
When an application does this, is there a fix or workaround? Two apps that have been brought to my attention here are firefox (in which all the links are red instead of blue) and xcmap (which comes up red - evidently it's supposed to be blue). Thanks, Steve. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Weatherall Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2008 3:12 AM To: 'Alex Chen'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: vnc-list@realvnc.com Subject: RE: Help about SDL abnormal color display in VNC viewer. Alex, I'm afraid that I can't find any such post to this mailing list. If the red & blue components are swapped in an application then that does invariably mean that the application is ignoring the actual format of depth-24 pixels, and assuming an RGB format, while Xvnc currently defaults to BGR (for historical reasons).
