I've just been testing out something in a 3.8b image on my pMac and noticed a strange colour effect. The default for the vanilla image is 16bpp and it looked just awful on a 32bpp display - very visible dithering on the gradient backgrounds of the menus, change in desktop colour etc. Setting Squeak to 32bpp made it looked ok. On Acorn it looks the same in 16 or 32bpp settings. :-)

John only recently fixed this, in 3.7.5b1.

Yes, but which version of the VM are you running I did a fix for this...
