I'm looking for a way to lock certain cells in the 256 colour palette, so
that they always hold those colours regardless of changes elsewhere in
the palette.
An application I'm helping with uses 64 colours, including the standard
Windows colours. Some images in this application use other positions for
further colours, but the initial set doesn't change. Fine, so far.
But there is an ability to display video clips in this application.
Assuming a 256 colour driver for Windows, and video clips which are 16
bit colour, one could theoretically stop the garish change of colours
behind the video windows by forcing the clips to only use 192 of the 256
spaces.
Any ideas? Or not possible?
