(...) There seems to be support for RGB and also for "Dithered" colour out there. The problem that we always faced are caused by applications that do not follow our ideas and so we go limiting our aims. I feel we should stop doing in that way (...)

(...) How about just "use the 'dithered' range but apply LDConfig on top of them, overriding any colour that gets in the way"? -Santeri (15 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) DOH! I forgot to include -- Part of the reason I think RGB colors are not the way to go is because they don't solve the real problem -- there are a good number of patterns that can't realistically be modeled in LDraw. Anything with gradients, (...) (15 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I can confirm that. While the LSC may have dithered over the spec, we certainly didn't drop "dither" intentionally. (Mind you, given the number of referenced specs we had to ratify first before we could get onto "the biggie", I'm surprised we (...) (15 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Not sure where you're going with that. I think adding RGB colors to official parts would not be a net improvement to the parts library system. It has nothing to do with backwards compatibility or conservatism. Steve (15 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) 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 (...) (15 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
