Thanks the Voropaev's (<voropaev@inp.nsk.su>) "Bug report" and his
hard pressure I've found some solution of the nasty "color palette
problem" to reduce the conflicts between ROOT and other "color
intensive" applications (for example like Microsoft Internet
explorer, Windows 95 desktop etc) with "256 colors" video mode.
Since Fons has gone for a vacation I took a liberty and made it
available via my personal Web home page.
http://nicewww.cern.ch/~fine/www/root_v1.02.x86.Windows_NT.exe
http://nicewww.cern.ch/~fine/www/root_v1.02.setup_NT.bat
To install follow our instruction from the "official" place:
http://root.cern.ch/root/Version102.html
(It is available via CERN NICE NT / NICE 95 PC network system too)
I'll appreciate a lot our Windows users will download it and
trial with 256 colors modes and with the different applications
running simultaneously on the desktop.
I'd like to mention that the better solution will be delivered when
we will optimize our "ROOT color palette" inherited from
CERNLIB/HIGZ Fortran package. We are going to replace it with
so-called "standard" one. The last is adopted with all current "Web"
masters (Netscape, Microsoft Explrorer etc) and we expect it will
reduce the "color" conflicts (under UNIX and under Windows) between
those Web viewers and running ROOT-based applications at least (and
with the most Windows applications too).
I am looking forward hearing your kind feedback soon
With my best regards,
Valery
