Static gray palette
The static gray palette provides 256 shades of gray in a static palette.
This palette does not reserve the first and last 10 palette entries for
icons and other standard Windows graphics, which frees the entire
grayscale ramp for applications.
The static gray palette does not provide gray-mapped Windows
colors for the first and last 10 palette entries. Because the framebuffer
assumes the Windows palette is in use, applications that draw directly
to the framebuffer display incorrectly. For example, icons and button
bitmaps may display in black and white.
Note
Applications cannot set the nonlinear static gray palette or the static gray
palette. They must read the palette from the operating system and use it
when drawing directly to the framebuffer.
Application colors display incorrectly if the application assumes all 8-bit
framebuffers have palettes that can be set.
