Color problem... colors locked by opengl

OpenGL
1

Hi

I am using HPUX10.20

Whenever i turn on my opengl application, the colors from other applications disappear and is replaced by grey.

Is there anyway to free the colors in opengl applications so that other applications are able to use them???

Thanks

Hey have you check my reply back in the other forum? http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/Forum2/HTML/007544.html

Don’t know about your OS, but looks like you need to:

  1. at the start of your probram, have it make a copy of the system’s pallet.

  2. when your opengl program is exited make it restore the pallet to the copy you made when you started your program.

  3. And your gl program has not holding the color to be set free, it has changed the value of the color. Unless you do the above only a system type call can reset that color back.

How about posting your code, so we can see what is going on in it.
