SUMMARY
=======
Microsoft Windows allows you to run Windows applications that have 256- color
support built into them; however, the graphics card and the Windows screen
driver must support 256 colors. Windows applications that do not have 256-color
support built into them are unable to use the 256-color support of Windows. For
example, if you are using an application such as Paintbrush and you have only 16
colors, your 16-color limitation may occur because the graphics card or the
screen driver only supports 16 colors.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Each Windows application is written to support a maximum number of colors. For
example, Microsoft Paintbrush supports 256 colors; however, Microsoft PowerPoint
supports 16.8 million colors.
Color support for Windows applications is determined by the following:
- What the application was written to support.
- What the graphics card supports.
- What the Windows screen driver supports.
