I grabbed 1.03 as soon as I saw the mention of it. It's a lot more stable on
loading graphics-intensive images than 1.02 ever was, which means it's taken
up permanent residence on my disk...but one problem has cropped up: How the
hell do I turn on palette management? I was using -p with 1.02, which did
fine for me, and i'd like the same functionality, but 1.03 seems to ignore
the -p switch. What am I doing wrong?...or is there a bug?

I am running a desktop of 800x600x256 colors, and regardless of if I use the
-p command-line parameter (as listed in the read.me), I am only getting
what looks like 16color graphic displays.. Does anyone know if this is a
problem with 1.03? Is their some other trick that I have to do?
Much appreciated in advance,
-Huw

I don't think it's that you're getting 16-color graphics; I think WE is
using its own palette, but not telling Presentation Manager about it. In any
case, you're not alone in reporting the problem, but we've had no
confirmation from IBM that they've received our previous bug reports.
Shame, too; aside from this problem, WE 1.03 does just great for me.

I can't speak for the other posters, but I'm running an Orchid Fahrenheit
1280 Plus on one system and a Dell S3-based SVGA on another. Both are using
the stock OS/2 Warp-supplied drivers, and both worked with 1.02's pallette
manager.

Hi
I also have a problem with this. If I have a desktop background picture
1.03 doesn't seem to reset the pallette to correctly colour incoming
pictures, irrespective of whether I use the -p option or not.
Cheers
Giovanni

Ah, that explains it. I had been wondering why this obviousl problem was
allowed in a production release...but if the developers don't use a picture
on their backgrounds, that would explain it. I, too, have a picture on my
desktop...but disabling the picture and going to a solid color background
didn't fix the problem. I'll try rebooting with the picture turned off and
see what happens.

Hi folks,
since I'm using the German OS/2 version it is difficult to assist you.
However, I'm trying to explain the problem and mean which I do hope is the
solution for that problem. I had the same problem when I optimized my palette
for the WPS (in order to properly display my background bitmap). Turning off
that optimization was all I needed (took me hours to come across that!).
Hope this will solve your problem.
bye Joerg

Ah. For American readers, the option Joerg is referring to is "Workplace
Shell palette aware", on the first page of the System notebook in the OS/2
System folder. Turning that option off made WE 1.03's palette manager work
for me.
