#Retina Question?
Well, what the heck, here goes a super-brief primer on the abominable Retina
software.
>>if I can get WB to fill all of the Retina screen, I'd be even more
thrilled.<<
This is simple enough… NOT! In RetinaScreenmode, you select your monitor and
then the default screenmode/resolution, which I find has to be the same as the
WorkBench RetinaEmu screenmode and C= ScreenMode resolution. Then, in
RetinaEmu, set the promotion of WorkBench to that same mode. Then, in
ScreenMode prefs, set your WB resolution to the resolution in RetinaScreenMode
and RetinaEmu, and select autoscroll and the number of colors. The actual
screenmode in ScreenMode doesn't matter whit.
>>However, my big question right now, is what all supports the card in 24
bit?<<
Well, AdPro. The included super-duper (NOT!) paint program xiPaint. TVPaint
for the Retina, which actually is terrific. RetinaDisplay bites, I hardly ever
get it to work. Viewtek_Retina works OK mostly, although it's not entirely
compatible with my Z3.
>>According to the manual there is supposed to be an AGA emulation mode, but
that doeasn't appear on the menu.<<
It's not something you set. You should have the option in ScreenMode of going
up to 256 colors. You could also set your Workbench to be Deep–either 24bit
or 16bit, I think–but in that event, set ScreenMode to no more than 4 colors.
