RE: [platform-ui-dev] VOTE: Low Color Proposal (end date = 11/27 )
|
then
put me down for a +1
Jan,
The low color proposal does not prevent you from having
vast quantities of colors. In fact the proposal recognizes that most people
want the same thing. What the proposal advocates is that our preference will
be to high color displays to make folks like yourself happy. It argues that on
low color displays where the set of colors is finite, and in fact a wack of
them have already been allocated by the operating system that there is little
we can to to guarantee you can get every color you want. Thus rather than
implement a number of mechanisms that still provide no gaurantees the argument
says we should invest in high color (lots of colors) do a great job at it, and
let swt do a nearest color match. Typically the nearest color match is not
bad. I would sort of describe this as saying, most apps design for more than
800x600 displays, but they "work" on 800x600. Similar notion.
I'm skipping lots of key details in the proposal but
hope this helps.
ps. The
graphics artists want lots of colors to. They curse low color displays and it
eats up tonnes of their time to worry about it and produce precise imagery.

i
want as much color as possible,. on my windows machine, Sun Solaris,
AS400
and Linux.
i'm not arguing against the feature.. But it should
be an option and not
something default.
if it is going to be default
then vote -1
else vote
+1
