I think Travis' wording may be confusing. Don't use "the old dither
algorithm". MLCad 3.30 draws colors 256-511 as *solid* colors. That's
better than using the stippling algorithm from previous MLCad versions.
(No new/current software stipples the colors in the 256-511 range.)
However the colors in the 256-511 region *are* standard colors and should
be available (using the solid mixed colors). Some of these colors may
be overridden by slightly modified hues in LDConfig.ldr, just like the
colors in the 0-32 range.
I don't know if that's any clearer than what Travis wrote...

| (...) How about just "use the 'dithered' range but apply LDConfig on top of them, overriding any colour that gets in the way"? -Santeri (14 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
