Re: menubar color problem - OSX

i don't really understand the issues involved here, so forgive my ignorance: shouldn't Prograph CPX be fixed to generate correct stack alignments? Wouldn't that solve the problem for all Prograph users or am I missing something?

We are seeing the exact same behavior using Prograph CPX. All Quartz rendered text on a G4 in millions of colors mode is unreadable. Nobody has been able to point out where this new requirement is documented.

The *only* sort-of solution we have come up with so far is checking the color depth at app startup and forcing it to "Thousands" so we can show an alert explaining what has happened. How lovely is that?

We may be able to skirt around the problem by generating code libraries of API wrapper calls but the jury is still out on that idea. It is certainly a huge amount of work.

Otherwise the only thing left is requesting users open the app in classic, where everything looks fine, if they need millions of colors on the G4.

One things is for sure: Apple believes this "Behaves Correctly" and appears to have no interest in helping those of us afflicted with this find a solution, other than suggesting we start from scratch using C.

If I'm going to use C, I'm probably going to do that in Windows, but then again, Prograph runs just fine in Windows.
