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. / / Flying The A3000 on AutoPilot 1.74 \/\/ from Durham,Ontario.
