How many colours on your desktop and can you prove it?
I am amazed by the number of colours that I can count on my desktop (KDE 3.5.2) and am wondering whether I am having a unique Linux experience? Do you have as many colours? I can count (totals kept using both xcalc and kcalc and a hard tally using paper and pencil) 11 (yes!!! ELEVEN!!!) What about you? Which is the best distro for colours? Do you have a better colour count using your desktop? Here is a FULL list of the colours I see :
1 red
2 bright red
3 pale red
4 blue
5 red blue
6 bright blue
7 dark blue
8 yellow (plain)
9 yellow (not plain)
10 green (the only shade!)
11 orange
I am aware of white (not a colour) and black (the opposite of white?) but they are not on my list. I do not wish to start a flame war ---- I can understand fully if you see b or w as c.
Here is MY PROOF >>>> everything I have said is true.
Well lets not get too upset. Its possible that the OP is under some drug induced state right now. Lets just close it and if the OP is lucky enough new spam will push the topic down and he won't have wake tommorow realizing what a stupid topic he made.
I have 16.7M colors, although my resolution is only 1024x768. Strange...
There must be some hidden pixels, although they probably take a lot of space. They would have fit into my old CRT, but my new TFT is just too small.
Maybe pixels have a backside, and can be two-colored.
The smilies on the left side are having a wild party.
