Hi there, with none default themes, I get the error messages like: "too many different colors used in palette" by using 16 different colors in theme file. As a result some Skins.Message are not displayed Digging deeper, I found cPalette::SetBpp osd.c give some strange values: At Start maxColors: 256 maxColors: 2 maxColors: 256 maxColors: 4 first call up menu maxColors: 16 maxColors: 4 etc. Why does the color resolution changed? Shoudn`t be at one value? regards Markus
