PPT: Colors and Shaded Fills Dither in PowerPoint (132383)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q132383 SYMPTOMS
When working in Slide View, you may notice colors dithering (breaking
down into pixels or bands of color) when you fill an object with a
solid or shaded fill.
This problem occurs when the color depth of your display settings is 256
colors or less.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the colors are dithered in Slide View. This
provides faster screen redraw. When you view the slide show and your
display is running at 256 colors, the colors and gradients do not dither.
RESOLUTION
To smooth the shaded fills, start the on-screen slide show.
NOTE: If your display adapter supports color depths greater than 256
colors, you can increase your display color setting to prevent colors
from dithering in Slide View.
For more information about changing the color depth setting in Windows
95, click the Index tab in Windows 95 Help, type the following text
colors, number of colors, changing
and then double-click the selected text to go to the "To change the number
of colors your monitor displays" topic.
