Hi, I guess, that the client must not compress them first. You must get normal bitmaps and then use them in your constructor and then set the compression box with the RLE option. Here the Palm OS constructor itself shall do the compression, and i see no problems why the image should not get displayed.
Is it possible for you to send me those 2 images. I shall trythem out here, if u dont mind...

The code warrior 8.0 version has the compression check box with the following options: None, Scan Line, RLE( OS 3.5 or later ), PackBits( Palm OS 4.0 or later ) and Best( Palm OS 4.0 or later ) The client creates the bitmap images, they have set RLE option while creating them. After creating these images the compressed images did not show up in the bitmap editor Thanks regards Marianne ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sushil" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Marianne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Palm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Mahesh Mole" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 12:29 PM Subject: RE: Bitmap > Marianne, > > Well, let me get some more details from you.
