Jack, Yup, the color swatch "problem" is also apparent on my Diamond SS24 which is a Tseng ET4000 chip. Only happens when you select a main display driver with >256 colors though. Also the vector arrows in the shaper are yellow and black. Also, the green in the mapping icon is black. Who cares though? There's really no point in running >256 colors in the editor. Dave Mennenoh

As you say, what can you do with the rest of those colors in the 3D Editor? Nevertheless, I'll pass it on. – J

>>As you say, what can you do with the rest of those colors in the 3D Editor? << There's the biggest drawback to using the Chrome board, it does one color depth and one only, 24 bit! Even in windows thats all it'll do. Why they designed it that way I don't know, but the easiest way to fix that card is probably to get a different one! Will it never end? David

<<Will it ever end?>> No doubt! I'm so frustrated with cards that are super dooper but lack in one obvious, major way. Like my Matrox MGA that does Windows and ACAD like a bat outta hell but I can smoke half a cigarette in the time it takes to do a VGA redraw. What kind of bad drugs are these engineer/designers on anyway? John Tissavary (La Luna cie)
