Re: 8-bit vs. 24-bit on new Sun hardware.

Hrvoje> I never did, and I hate the software that makes this kind of Hrvoje> decision for me. I've never used the `-install' or Hrvoje> `-private' options on 8bit displays due to flashing. I use the -install option with netscape. However, I recently used -privateColormap with XEmacs and found it terribly annoying - the difference is that I tend to use XEmacs for a lot more stuff than Netscape and that I constantly switch through my virtual desktops. My conclusion is that XEmacs should use the default colors and nothing else. If somebody wants more, hey, they can use it, there are options for that. But to use (as a default) non-default color settings ... Holger -- --- http://www.coling.uni-freiburg.de/~schauer/ --- "Verwende Perl.
