I am trying to put some color pictures in my program and understand that
I have to put them in a bitmap family in the constructor. How do I do that though, all
it lets me do when I create a bitmap family is change the height and width. Please
help me! Thanks!

RTFM :) look in the knowledge base.. constructor and pilrc can do it.

Hello all.
I am getting a problem when working with bitmap families.
i made a 4 bit bitmap . Added its entry in the bitmap family
Placed the bitmap on the form.

WinScreenMode(winScreenModeSet, NULL, NULL, &depth, NULL);
But when FrmDrawForm is called

Well, since I now know that this can be accomplished by using an invalid
depth between the two, that's exactly how I would have done it, I didn't
read until the post that you could do that and it'll work

Use a 32x32 icon for the black and white icon. This will fix it.

How can I use a 32x32 icon for the B&W icon ?
Icon Families enforce that all the bitmaps must be the same size.

I would have sworn I read 22x22 somewhere and my pre-3.5 app icons

Hello!
I am using Code Warrior Lite w/ the PalmOS SDK 3.5 and the latest
Constructor. This version of constructor supports the creation of Bitmap
Families. Unfortunately, I am unable to understand what good it is to

I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one who finds Constructor's UI to be
unnecessarily arcane ;-), but here is my experience on some points about
using bitmap families:
- When you set the bitmap size in the family spec panel, all your
bitmaps must be of that size. Howeve
I've made a walkthrough to use colors and bitmap families, and to let the
application select AT RUNTIME the best color depth available for the runtime
device.

Bitmap families allow you to have different bitmap depths for different
palms. The OS will load the appropriate bitmap, depending on what the
bitmap level is for a palm.

I have successfully created and saved 256 color bitmaps in Contructor.
(And verified via the size of the rsrc.)
But when I try to use these bitmaps in a Form Bitmap, they only show up
with 2 colors! (And I've verified that I've successfully switched to
256 color mode before hand.)

You've got three app icons
The screen depth used for the launcher in PalmOS 3.5 is as follows:
On Palm IIIc: 8 bits deep
On all the grayscale devices: 1 bit deep
This is also the default used for third party applications that don't
explicitly set the screen depth. What all this means is that you won't
normally see 2 or 4 b

Actually, these are the default screen depths for all apps on those

i think i solved your problem.
apperantly the OS3.1 doesn't support compressed bitmaps.
when i compress the 2-bit bitmat, it shows corrupted on OS3.1
when i use no compression for the 2-bit bitmap it shows ok on OS3.1
hope it helps
