Re: Performance problems with 8-bit display

Hi,

It seems Applix allocated the X color cells, and thus your application could
not, when it was invoked.  There *may* be an option to invoke Applix such
that it will use a private color map.  This would of course cause the
colors on your desktop to "switch", depending on which app has the focus.
But the currently focused app's colors would be correct.

I hope others come forth with other information, and/or solutions for you,
