desktop_palette(3alleg4)					  Allegro manual					  desktop_palette(3alleg4)

NAME
desktop_palette - The palette used by the Atari ST low resolution desktop. Allegro game programming library. SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h> extern PALETTE desktop_palette; DESCRIPTION
The palette used by the Atari ST low resolution desktop. I'm not quite sure why this is still here, except that the grabber and test pro- grams use it. It is probably the only Atari legacy code left in Allegro, and it would be a shame to remove it :-) The contents of this palette are 16 colors repeated 16 times. Color entry zero is equal to color entry 16, which is equal to color entry 24, etc. Index Color RGB values 0 White 63 63 63 1 Red 63 0 0 2 Green 0 63 0 3 Yellow 63 63 0 4 Blue 0 0 63 5 Pink 63 0 63 6 Cyan 0 63 63 7 Grey 16 16 16 8 Light grey 31 31 31 9 Light red 63 31 31 10 Light green 31 63 31 11 Light yellow 63 63 31 12 Light blue 31 31 63 13 Light pink 63 31 63 14 Light cyan 31 63 63 15 Black 0 0 0 SEE ALSO
