Palette Mode
In the Palette Mode section you can choose one of the four
following Palette Modes.If you are using a color display in
conjunction with your Barco grayscale display(s) under Windows
2000 or Windows XP, prior to selecting a palette mode please
make certain that you have configured your Window 2000 or

Color to Gray Compatibility
Use this palette option for applications, such as Java, which
require True Color support. Such applications may not work
correctly when using one of Barco's three "Standard 8-bit (256-
color)" palette modes. All applications that are designed to work
correctly with 8-bit (256-color) modes should continue to work
normally.
Please note that dithering is not used while in this mode. The
Enable Dithering check box will be grayed-out, and dithering will
be automatically disabled regardless of whether this check box is
checked. This complies with the Windows standard interface

Also, please note that direct access to the hardware through
DirectDraw is not allowed in this mode. The Enable DirectDraw

hardware will be automatically disabled regardless of whether
this check box is checked. DirectDraw is still usable through
