Hi,
I've attached a patch (built against the current CVS version) which alters
the windowed driver in the following way:
- when the allegro color depth and the desktop color depth do not match, the
window is no longer "sticky on top" (TopMost in win32's language); rather
the app can be switched into the background, with the only possible mode
being SWITCH_PAUSE.
The window was topmost because my software color conversion didn't perform
clipping, so the contents of allegro window where written over other windows
- color conversion from and to 24-bit is added; unfortunately, as my old
Pentium 200 doesn't support MMX, the code doesn't either.
OK, great. I was a lot lazy about making the 24 bit version :-)
- non MMX equivalent routines are provided for all the MMX color conversion
routines (conversion to 16-bit is untested since my ATI card uses 15-bit
format)
Well, it appears that the memory alignment has a great impact on the
performance of color conversion code (by a factor 2 on my Pentium) so I've
chosen to force it; however, 24-bit is a darned ugly graphic mode...
By the way, I've again slightly modified the desktop_color_depth() function,
in order to make it consistent with the code in gdi.c.
