? I cannot understand.  There is no such range, MLCad takes that
what comes from LDConfig nothing more, nothing less.  Dithered
colors originally have been according to the original definition of
LDraw. MLCad now no longer uses them, but only the definition from
LDConfig.  If you feel that colors are missing, than we should add
them to this file ...

I noticed that when I remove LDConfig.ldr the old dithered colors are
available, but no longer dithered.  They're now solid colors.  That's
a big improvement!  It makes the 256-511 rance of colors much nicer
for printed patterns.  (Dithered colors need a few consecutive pixels
to look good, and the small triangles in the printed patterns aren't
big enough for this at a normal viewing scale).

However I think what everyone wants is to have these available even
when the LDconfig file is found.  What would be best is if MLCad could
replace only the colors that have been "refined" by LDconfig.ldr, and
leave the others still defined with the new solid versions of the old
dithered colors.  That would be perfect!

Enjoy,

Don
