HyperCard 2.2: Color Tools Troubleshooting (2/94)

People with monitors that can't display 16 or more colors can't use the
Color Tools stack. On one-bit monitors, the Color Tools stack will show a
card that lists its requirements, but it doesn't do this for monitors that
are not in B&W mode -- so you may have problems running the stack without
realizing why.


Here are the requirements for using the Color Tools stack:
* At least 2MB of RAM allocated to HyperCard
* 32-Bit QuickDraw (included as part of system software version 7.0
 or later)
* A monitor capable of showing 16 or more colors or shades of gray

Also, when using Color Tools 1.0 with HyperCard 2.2, if you:
1) Choose Open Color Tools from the Color menu,
2) Before the palette is drawn, click on the desktop, and then
3) Later go back to HyperCard,
you get Color menus but no palette.  The workaround is to close Color Tools
and reopen it.
