(See the section “Configuring the Windows 2000 or Windows XP desktop” on page 103.)

Color to Gray Compatibility

Use this palette option for applications, such as Java, which require True Color support. Such applications may not work correctly when using one of Barco's three “Standard 8-bit (256- color)” palette modes. All applications that are designed to work correctly with 8-bit (256-color) modes should continue to work normally.

Please note that dithering is not used while in this mode. The Enable Dithering check box will be grayed-out, and dithering will be automatically disabled regardless of whether this check box is checked. This complies with the Windows standard interface method.

Also, please note that direct access to the hardware through DirectDraw is not allowed in this mode. The Enable DirectDraw check box will be grayed-out, and DirectDraw’s access to the hardware will be automatically disabled regardless of whether this check box is checked. DirectDraw is still usable through DirectDraw’s Hardware Emulation Layer.
