10.5.3 update 256 colors

the recent 10.5.3 update removed a 256 color option on my macbook. Is there a solution to my problem? Can I downgrade to 10.5.2?

This is not the case, All that program does is allow resolution changes... Don't purchase it don't even bother with the trial version. I spoke to a developer for it, and they said it will only support color modes that your driver still supports... I had a apple tech support person suggest this program and now I have a 30$ worthless menu bar and I still might need to re-vert...

  • Apple TV displaying image in 256 colors

    I've set my AppleTV up to my 1080p LCD television via HDMI. The sound works perfectly and the image displays, but it is only showing 256 colors and the image is dithered - imagine saving a photograph as a GIF image and that's what the AppleTV display looks like. This applies to everything - the menus, photographs, movies, videos, YouTube, etc. When I do a factory restore it even applies to the installation menus. It seems to be a hardware issue, but I'm not quite sure what it could be. I've tried to connect to the other HDMI port with the same issue. I've tried different HDMI cables with the same issue. Other HDMI devices, such as the Playstation 3 work perfectly. I've tried all the available resolutions in the AppleTV settings. I've tried the various HDMI settings (auto, rgb, etc). I've got the latest software updates. I've done 2 factory restores. Have shut down the AppleTV to let it cool off and still the same problem. Any ideas what else I could try?

    Unfortunately, there are no Apple Stores where I live (I purchased the AppleTV via the AppleStore online). I've since found that if I turn the tv off, turn the AppleTV off, turn on the TV and then plug the AppleTV back in, it works. It seems that would indicate there is no hardware issue but, rather, a problem with syncing of the HDMI signal. Since none of my other HDMI devices have this problem, I have to assume it's an AppleTV issue. Hopefully a future software update will fix it.

  • Problem with X11 running 256 colors finally SOLVED!

    Good morning all.
    Last August I posted thread regarding X11 not working with 256 colors.

    Apple did it in the 10.4.9 update, but that slipped by me until I saw this post (so thanks!!!)

  • 256 color in Forms 10g

    I find that there is support for ONLY 256 color in Forms 10g. Is it a limitation and can we use more than 256 colors?
    I want to enter r92g136b146 in canvas properties background color. It gives me an errror FRM-12305
    Please help. Thanks.

    Forms supports 8 bit and 24 bit color spaces. It does not support 16 bit however.
    The help file describes how you can define colors in a custom palette and load that. Note.37765.1 is also helpful.
    Even though the notation you see in the property palette looks like a standard 24 bit rgb notation it is not. It uses percentages (and only discrete values, not 0-100) for each channel rather than values between 0 and 255.

  • How to save a JPG in 256 colors?

    I'm using Photoshop CS2.
    1. How to save a JPG in 256 colors?
    2. Is there a way to see an image properties?
    -- I want to know if that image is in 256 color or not...

    Mary Jo, since you are a newcomer, you may not yet understand that in any given Adobe forum, there are a whole bunch of conversations going on at the same time. Each one of these is about a certain "topic", described in the title and opening post. The discussion sometimes stays right on point, and sometimes veers off a bit, and there are often quick side-issues branching off from the main topic, but still related. Within limits, people here try to keep the discussion on a single general topic. For example, in this topic, the initial issue is whether there is a way, in Photoshop, to limit the number of colors in a JPEG image to 256; there were discussions about whether this could be done or not, and alternative programs that may be able to accomplish this, and a comparison of the file sizes for 256 bit images in different file types.
    Your question, however, is not a logical outgrowth of the discussion. It's a perfectly good question, but it deserves its own new discussion topic. It's like a bunch of people have been sitting around a table discussing the merits of Canon vs. Nikon SLRs, and someone sits down at the table and, instead of joining the conversation, asks a completely unrelated question about point-and-shoot cameras, or camcorders.
    It's off-topic here, and you should start a new topic. Make the title descriptive, such as "Why does a 8 megapixel image result in a 3 megabyte file on my computer?" (assuming that's what you want to ask -- just "M" doesn't tell me whether you are talking about MP or MB). In the initial post, provide a more detailed description of what you want to know. Tell us what camera and Photoshop version you are using, and how you encountered the issue. People will see that a new topic raises an issue they know something about and you will get a response -- probably a good answer, if you keep in the conversation.
    [Edit: Trez hit "post" before I did. Trez-- I think she is using Photoshop, not Elements; she did say CS2.]

  • Using more than 256 colors in 3D graph?

    Hi,
    I am using 3D surface plot in Labview 6.i and I would like to know if it is
    possible to use more than 256 colors (in the Z-scale).
    Actually I would like to have very smooth change in the color map and this
    could be possible if we could use 16bit color instead of 8bit.
    Thanks.

  • How can i create 256 colors (8 bits) jpeg ?

    Dear all :
    The jpeg created by JPEGEncoder was in true color (24 bits) , how can i create or convert the jpeg to 256 colors . Because i want to convert the jpeg to gif in further , but the gifencoder i found can only accept the images that with 256 colors only , so any one can give me a help ? Or the ways that convert a jpeg to gif using java ?

    To reduce the number of colors in an image, try:
    http://www.gurge.com/amd/java/quantize/
    This does a very good job of reducing colors without making the image look too different.
    Further, if you want to encode a GIF file, try using:
    http://www.acme.com/java/software/Acme.JPM.Encoders.GifEncoder.html
    There should be some sample code which shows you how to use those packages on their respective websites. Hope this helps!

  • Why is the 256 Color Option 'ghosted' in Leopard?

    I've recently 'upgraded' my Mac Pro to Leopard and in the process have killed a major piece of cross platform software that I use in my work. Apparently, Leopard has disabled 256 color compatibility, while simultaneously leaving the option as ghosted teaser on the displays panel of system preferences. They even have a posting on this (answer 306773) that claims this is 'normal'.
    Now, I don't actually want to set the global display to 256 colors, but my application works in X11, where I need the individual windows to open with 8-bit color depth. This was never a problem with Tiger (or Windows or Linux). So long as the OS supports 256 colors, the windows open fine under X. As things are now, when I open X in 256 color mode, I get blank white screens on the same machine where they were working fine on before the upgrade!
    Does anyone know if this is going to be fixed or if there is a workaround that will enable me to use this program? As it stands now, I'm pretty much frozen out of the Mac OS as a work computer unless I go back to Tiger. I'm in the process of getting a new set of computers for the group I'm in, and, if this isn't fixable, I'm probably going to have cancel my mac orders and switch to PCs instead (horrors!).
    Any ideas out there?

    I suggest posting to the Unix forum under OS X Technologies where the X11 gurus hang out.

  • 256 Colors on new 24 inch iMac

    Is it possible to get the ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO in my new 24 inch intel iMac to be able to show 256 colors?

    It still doesn't show up.
    What I am trying to do is use Boot Camp to play a game, Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, but the game has to be played in 256 colors. I've tried all kinds of troubleshooting things in Boot Camp, but nothing works.
    I can't find drivers for my video card, are there any that I need?
    I've also heard of Windows programs that can trick the game into thinking it is running in 256 colors... where can I find one of those?

  • 256 Colors/Old Games

    is there anyway to fix this manually, i have tried everything i can think of except using the start up disk to try and revert to an older version for leopard so i can play fallout again i have the GMA X3100 Graphics card witch Ive heard had the most issues with 256 colors recently, any ideas?

    Unfortunately some games require software graphics emulation or hardware graphics emulation which may not work in the Classic environment, and only work while booted into Mac OS 9.  If your eMac is too new for booting into Mac OS 9, you may be out of luck.    To see which eMac can run booted mode, see this tip:

  • [Solved] 256 color term causes color glitch

    Hello,
    I'm having a strange (to me anyways) issue with 256 color terminals. The issue appears under xterm-256color and rvxt(-unicode)-256color, but not under any of the 8-color terminals I've tried.
    A bit of background, if it's relevant: this is my second machine running Arch. It's an Asus netbook which I intend to use for schoolwork-related stuff (therefore, no need for X or a DE -- just console tools). I'm trying to get a 256 color term working because I use emacs, and mc a lot, and they both have nice 256 color themes I'd like to use.
    However, when I use a 256 color term, the following happens:
    The universal issue is that the colors are wrong -- lots of them are the same blue and grey color repeated again and again. This is I think what is causing emacs/mc and others to do all of their colored highlighting in an unreadable mess of these same colors everywhere. The issue particular to rxvt-unicode-256color (and not rxvt-256color) is the other effect shown in the picture -- the text becomes 'distorted' into incorrect characters. The text typed in on the left, for example, are two ordinary sentences.
    Maybe what I'm looking at in the unicode term is two unrelated issues... I'm not sure. In any case, if someone could point me in the direction of a solution or offer some insight, I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    You've caught me redhanded, but more importantly you've finally given me a new name to look into. After several rounds of tic-terminfo-toe, I'm satisfied that as trilby says there simply is no way to get the full 256 color range out of the tty without some x in the middle. This leads to more questions (where's the equivalent of inittab for systemd, where does term get set to xterm anyway (when not in the user's rc's at least, why did it work better through pts, can I achieve 256 in pts without forwarding x, where do I find an 8-color vim syntax scheme that won't burn my eyeballs, etc), but the topic question is resolved. Thanks!

  • GNU Screen and 256 color terminal

    Okay I've been racking my brain over trying to get 256 colors working while in screen.
    If I run the 256colors2.pl script (found in xterm source) while in xterm / roxterm / xfce4-terminal it shows all colours as expected.
    $ echo $TERM
    xterm
    Now I followed the wiki and added the "term screen-256color" line to my .screenrc
    but if I run screen and run the 256colors script it doesn't show 256 colours (all messed up)
    If I exit screen and manually set my $TERM
    $ export TERM=xterm-256color
    then run screen again, things seem to work properly.
    But why?
    I've read elsewhere on this forum that it's not good practice to force your $TERM so what should I do here?
    What is the proper way?  I just cant wrap my head around why 256 colors work when $TERM=xterm outside of screen, but not when in screen.
    Last edited by Zer0 (2009-10-30 05:10:08)

    I recommend just using TERM=xterm-256color, as TERM=xterm does not reflect the terminal's capabilities.  Replacing the command for your current terminal emulator with something like:
    xterm -tn xterm-256color
    should be sufficient.
    I now use rxvt-unicode-256color from [community], which uses a 256color terminfo by default.  Why xterm and friends don't use this when it is supported, I don't understand.

  • Does Flex support 256 color displays?

    Hi all,
    Does Flex / Flash officially support 256-color displays? I
    can't get the Image control to display any images at all when the
    display is set to 256 colors.
    I've tried PNG, GIF, and JPEG images with monochrome, 16
    color, 256 color, and 24-bit palletes (in every combination the
    formats allow). They *all* work fine if the display is set to
    15-bit color or higher, but *none* of them work if the display is
    set to 256 colors. I would have thought at the very least that the
    Flash player could show a monochrome image on a 256 color display
    Does anyone know if this is a limit in the Flex control, or
    the underlying Flash controls? Could I solve it by using some Flash
    control directly?
    FYI, this the problem exists on both machines that I have
    tested so far. Both using Windows 2000, with both IE7 and FF1.5.
    Any ideas? Thanks!
    Paul

    OK, so this definately looks like a bug in Flex / Flash when
    running on 256 color displays.
    Really simple Flex projects that contain nothing but images
    like:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    layout="vertical">
    <mx:Image source="
    http://domain/image1.gif"
    />
    <mx:Image source="
    http://domain/image2.jpg"
    />
    <mx:Image source="
    http://domain/image3.png"
    />
    </mx:Application>
    Don't show anything at all, but if you throw in a few images
    via a Text control such as:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    layout="vertical">
    <mx:Text width="450" height="75"><mx:htmlText>
    <img src="
    http://domain/image1.gif"
    />
    </mx:htmlText></mx:Text>
    <mx:Text width="450" height="75"><mx:htmlText>
    <img src="
    http://domain/image2.jpg"
    />
    </mx:htmlText></mx:Text>
    <mx:Text width="450" height="75"><mx:htmlText>
    <img src ="
    http://domain/image3.png"
    />
    </mx:htmlText></mx:Text>
    <mx:Text width="450" height="75"><mx:htmlText>
    <img src="
    http://domain/image1.gif"
    />
    </mx:htmlText></mx:Text>
    <mx:Text width="450" height="75"><mx:htmlText>
    <img src="
    http://domain/image2.jpg"
    />
    </mx:htmlText></mx:Text>
    <mx:Text width="450" height="75"><mx:htmlText>
    <img src="
    http://domain/image3.png"
    />
    </mx:htmlText></mx:Text>
    <mx:Image source="
    http://domain/image1.gif"
    />
    <mx:Image source="
    http://domain/image2.jpg"
    />
    <mx:Image source="
    http://domain/image3.png"
    />
    </mx:Application>
    Then all of the images will appear - all of those embedded
    into the Text controls, as well as those embedded into the Image
    controls. Note, it seems that there needs to be "significantly"
    more Text controls than Image controls for this to work... but I
    haven't really narrowed that down.
    Also, when the Text controls are not used, it seems that
    popping up Alert boxes cause the images to display correctly until
    the dialog box is dismissed, and then the Image controls disappear
    again!
    Finally, I've found that I can get the Image control to work
    reliably (so far) by itself, if I simply set the height or width to
    be at least one pixel less than (not greater than) the real image.
    So, for example, my image is 450 pixels wide, by 75 pixels
    high. So, of the following four Image controls, only the last one
    works!
    <mx:Image source="
    http://domain/image1.gif"
    />
    <mx:Image width="450" height="75" source="
    http://domain/image1.gif"
    />
    <mx:Image width="451" height="75" source="
    http://domain/image1.gif"
    />
    <mx:Image width="449" height="75" source="
    http://domain/image1.gif"
    />
    Once again, all of these behaviours only occur when the
    display is set to a 256 color mode. Everything works as expected on
    15bit+ color modes.
    So, I guess I should file a bug report now?
    Paul.

  • X11 in 256 color mode font issue

    Hello all,
    I have a problem with the X11 (X11 1.1.2 - XFree86 4.4.0) application on MacOS X 10.4.8. If I set the color depth to 256 colors and restart the application the fonts get corrupted. The X11 window gets unusable. Also the X11 application started has the same problem.
    I cannot use another color depth because the X11 application used asks for it.
    Maybe this is an Intel-based Mac issue only, but I do not know for sure.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    20" iMac Intel Core Duo 2   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I think it is a bug.

  • Adobe Reader changes system color depth settings to 256 colors

    I am writing here for a friend who has a Windows 7 system and Adobe Reader in version 9.4
    Each time he opens Adobe Reader the system settings for color depth are changed to 256 colors, which makes  PDF documents barely readable. It is possible to change the color depth back to normal in the system settings, but each restart of Adobe Reader switches the system again to 256 colors.
    Does anyone here have a clue how to stop this behaviour of Adobe Reader?
    My friend has tried to remove Adobe Reader and reinstall it, but the problem remains.
    Since I am a Mac user my Windows abilities are very limited and I am very grateful for any help.
    Thanks a lot,

    Could be a hardware malfunction. Maybe you should take that MacBook to an Apple store and have it checked out.
