Enlightenment takes many lifetimes. I don't think my advice is going to
help that much! ;)
A Bitmap Family allows you to create multiple bitmaps and let the OS decide
for you which one to display. For example, if you want one app to display a
color bitmap on a color device under version 3.5 and to display a "black &
white" bitmap on non-color devices, use a bitmap family which contains a
1-bit and an 8-bit bitmap. You don't have to write any code to select the
right bitmap -- the OS takes care of it all for you.
