Planar Dome EX manual Static gray palette

Static gray palette

The static gray palette provides 256 shades of gray in a static palette. This palette does not reserve the first and last 10 palette entries for icons and other standard Windows graphics, which frees the entire grayscale ramp for applications.

The static gray palette does not provide gray-mapped Windows colors for the first and last 10 palette entries. Because the framebuffer assumes the Windows palette is in use, applications that draw directly to the framebuffer display incorrectly. For example, icons and button bitmaps may display in black and white.

Note

Applications cannot set the nonlinear static gray palette or the static gray palette. They must read the palette from the operating system and use it when drawing directly to the framebuffer.

Application colors display incorrectly if the application assumes all 8-bit framebuffers have palettes that can be set.
