Hello everybody,

Finally I'v got my QVGA TFT working with Windows CE on the Accelent IDP
board. The graphic seems Ok. All colors
are correct. But it still has problem in text mode(see attached photo). It
looks to me that the gray level of the letters are not correctly shown. Some
gray becomes black and some becomes white. That's why the text on the
desktop looks very strange and the text on the console window has irregular
width. I'm using EngCreatePalette(PAL_BITFIELDS, NULL, NULL, 0xF800, 0x07E0,
0x001F) to create the default color palette for the 16Bpp display.
The problem with text dispears if I use an 8Bpp PSTN display(rebuild the
image with 8Bpp configuration).

My questions are:
Does text mode using a different color palette from the graphic mode with
16Bpp display?
How can I change the default color palette?

Thanks a lot in advance for any hints and tips.

Dan
