Re: WP works - but it looks funny.
Has anyone figured out a real solution to this problem. I'd prefer to run
at 24bpp and don't have enough memory to run at 32bpp. If it helps
anyone, this is possibly a related problem, netscape's icons go
black&white in 24bpp and are just fine in 16bpp; maybe it's a bug in the
xpm decoding library.
thanks,
