That is not complete correct. If MLCad does not find a LDConfig.ldr then you have your old colours back, including the dithered range!

I stand corrected. However, forcing the user to choose between LDConfig.ldr support and dither color support pretty much makes dither colors useless in MLCad 3.3 for a vast majority of users.

That was my original opinion. However, all the initial posts in this thread advocated RGB colors, so I was willing to support that. Now MLCad breaks dither colors for at least 95% of its users, which seems to make them a really bad idea.
