No offense, but some of the layouts on your site are...odd.

Atomic runs in 16bit colors mode only. For performance and memory reasons. Heavy animated layout can you lot of images , so i choose a 16bit mode to reduce the place in memory and increase performance.
On most of the layout you can not see the difference, on some few yes. And in addition if you use the layout on a Arcade Monitor 15Khz, you can not really notice the problem on this kind of layout.

Post by: joebells on February 23, 2007, 08:44:53 am: Ah I run on a 55 inch hdtv screen so I would probably notice the colors missing I can tell on the selection bar in the apple theme its got some dithering and such on my computer screen.

Thats my problem with most of the front ends and themes few are made for hdtv useage.

Post by: youki on February 23, 2007, 09:04:07 am: Of course on a HDTV , you will see ...

You can make a High resolution layout that fit your HDTV resolution. Most of my layouts are in 640x480 or 640x288 , because the main usage of my front end is done with Arcade Cabinet Screen.(15khz) .

But Atomic is not limited for the layout resolution , you do what you want as soon as you have enough memory to use it.
