-Q2.A.2- ,using a machine with less than 8 bit color, run?
From: -II- Tk Questions and Answers - How can I:
A2.A.2. Tk doesn't behave very well with less than 8-bit color screens. To
try to use it, find all the places in the Tk/wish source where
DefaultDepthOfScreen is invoked to test the number of bit-planes. Change all
of these to pretend there is just 1 bit-plane, or call a procedure which
monitors a Tcl variable so that it is configurable, and you should be okay.
Another alternative is to see if the server you are using has alternative
visual / color models, such as static visual, etc. One of the alternatives
may allow Tk to work better.
