about colors go to FAQ/egamad's website/use search.
about resolution, can you specify better your machine (display, graph. card, version of OS), please?

Re: Bigger Resolution than 640x480 in Win7
The Radeon 4780 apparently is similar to my card, an ATi with 1GB of memory... I think someone else said they had something similar... could this maybe be the problem? It would be nice to have some kind of survey of most of the board...

Re: Bigger Resolution than 640x480 in Win7
Ivo asked me to test some configurations if i can. here are my results: Red means GR runs only on 640x480 and green means that it can run the highest resolution possible on the screen. I will do some more configurations tomorrow.

Windows 7 64bits /w GTX275 896mb RAM /22"TFT @ 1680x1050, 4 Core AMD Phenom doesn't work. Runs only on 640x480 and always creates the strange colours. (I don't have the palette installed)

Max screen size varies between 1024*768 & 1152*864 dependant on which generally.exe i run
Mixed colours, fixable from faq

Same Windows 7 computer, with integrated ATi Radeon HD 4200 works fine except for some flickering (which also happens with my 5770). Definitely the graphics card...
