Thanks Steve,
I've gotten to the bottom of this now I think. You must always use the basic
windows 16 colour palette or these types of issues arise. Must create
16x16x16 .ico files to use them on the toolbar. Also - when creating ico
files, the screen on your desktop PC should be set to 32bit colour. If you
use 16bit colour for instance you cannot seem to access or save the basic 16
windows colours in your icon editor of choice. I used "Icon Edit" in the end
to create the icons I needed.
I'd imagine all this is a limitation of the PocketPC, rather than SWT. One
to watch for though if you are using SWT on the PocketPC.
