High-Color Icons Displayed in 256-Color Mode (169399)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q169399 SYMPTOMS
When Windows 95 is running in a video resolution with 256 colors, high-
color icons may be displayed instead of the 256-color icons. These icons
may look distorted or washed out because of the lack of colors available
to display them with.
CAUSE
The video resolution in Windows 95 was changed from a high-color
resolution to a 256-color resolution using the QuickRes program.
RESOLUTION
Restart the computer to cause Windows 95 to use the correct icons for the
current video color depth.
Note that the opposite behavior occurs if the color depth is changed from
256 colors to high color. This causes the 256-color icons to be used
instead of the high-color icons.
