Hi Stan, I've written a bit using Motif and Qt, and have never had any problems with colour depths. This is more or less hidden from you (the programmer) anyway. I do have one application (written by Mentor Graphics, not me) that barfs with 16 bit colour depth though. I believe there's no such thing as 'too many colours', and the vendor is a bit cheeky by claiming this.It's more likely a case of a buggy program.
