My Netscape Woes

[Cameron Matheson]

Hello everyone,

I am having the worst time with netscape.  It worked beautifully for a
while, but now the toolbars are all monochrome.  The Webpages look fine,
but the toolbars are monochrome.  Quake is also monochrome.  The Debian
Online Help is monochrome too.  Everything else is fine (colorful).  I
have no idea what I would have done to mess this up, but I'm not very
pleased.  Please help,

Thank you

Cameron Matheson

Did you by any chance change your color depth to 24-bit? That happened
for me too. Changed it to 24-bit after getting a graphics card that could handle
it and then Netscape went bad. I don't think there's any other solution except
to go to 16-bit or 32-bit.

I am running my G400 at 24bpp and Netscape works fine (well, as well as it
ever does).

I've seen this a few times; I only have a 1MB video card,and I think (being no
expert) that the color palettes get all used up (terminology?). Restarting X 
seems to
clear the colors back to normal, at least for me.
