I'm running a VAXstation3100 with DECwindows 2.2. When I try to load a nice color picture on the root window, xloadimage aborts with a message indicating that it won't change the default colormap. So be it. When I load the picture with the number of colors reduced to 64, it loads fine. When I subsequently try to load the picture with the number of colors reduced to 128, it fails with the message mentioned above. As a side result, the colormap is changed, and the picture on the root now displays fancy psychedelic colors. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but I like it very much! The other colors (of the windows, backgrounds etc) are not changed. Good. Does someone have a program that, running in the background, changes the root window's colormap as does xloadimage, with regular intervals? I sure would like that. Thanks for any info.
