Hi,
My code is not working, it always crashes at the SetColorIndex giving the
following message
(#) DirectFBError [primary->SetColorIndex(primary, 0)]: Not supported!
Can anyone provide me with an working code or suggest any modification in
present code, so that SetColorIndex, can work.
Basicaly i am trying to do this.
1) Create on surface with Palette support.
2) Set the palette to the surface.
3) Then access a particular color in the Palette uing setcolorindex.
4) Draw a rectangle using that color.
Can anyone suggest where i am getting wrong.
regards
Animesh.
