256 colours?

Is it a problem for SB? (The compiled exe works ok...)
Or only a warning for those installing on 'ancient' computers?

No. I nagged Friedrich to support 24bit bitmaps until he figured out how to
do it without adding overhead to the installer<g> I have been using 24bit
bitmaps in SB for quite a while as backgrounds and images. No problems at
all:)

Best regards,
