Debug 32-bit color support in UI #9

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently, the UI shows only the 16 system colors.  All the code for 32bit
color and palette management is apparently in place in the system, yet
still only 16 colors show up.

A possibly related oddity is that dialog boxes are the 'old-style' pre-XP
Windows dialogs.  Maybe these anachronisms are related to the fact that we
are running as a console application, or perhaps we are linking to old
C-style libraries, rather than newer COM libaries, causing the program to
run in some kind of 'compatibility' mode.

You could get nice XP controls with a manifest but adding a 
strongtalk.exe.manifest
results in an crash (strongtalk.log):
