Ronald,
I understand that WB has reserved colors 0-3 and 12-15 of a possible 16
colors and that colors 4-11 are availiable extra colors for the picture.
If the screenmode is set to 8 colors then all 8 are reserved for WB use.
It seems to me that the only advantage to the 16 color screenmode is to
allow other programs to display 16 colors. Almost all of the Backdrops
that I have are 16 colors MagicWB backdrops. This 8 color limitation of
the OS3.1 WorkBench is a real disappointment.
Maybe someone will think of a way around this limit. Possibly the new
MagicWB version demon will help. I haven't got my new update yet.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
