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. :-)
