Hi Fred,
yu probably checked the following already, but on the off chance you have not... Maybe you have set X11 to 256 color mode? Start X11.app (from /Applications/Utilities) go to the X11 menu, select Preferences..., switch to the tab called output and see what is selected for Colors. If it is set to 256 Colors you have your root cause, just switch to something higher and all should be fine.

- tksurfer/tkmedit display color fix in OSX 10.6? (Fred Dick)
Message: 1 Date: Sun, 9 May 2010 15:34:35 +0100 From: Fred Dick fdick@crl.ucsd.edu Subject: [Freesurfer] tksurfer/tkmedit display color fix in OSX 10.6? To: freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Message-ID: 873B33F2-3339-4871-9395-1EFEEC1EFAAB@crl.ucsd.edu Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Dear all
This is a pretty minor issue (except for figure making) - but has anyone experienced and then fixed a display problem in tksurfer/tkmedit in OSX 10.6 (possibly also 10.5) where graphics seem to be drawn only with 256 colors, thereby giving images a kind of contour-plot look? (See attached image below). [Running 10.6.3, i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1, tksurfer 1.309 (yes, older), tkmedit v 1.330]
I looked around the mail archives but didn't see anyone else commenting on this, but do know someone else having the same issue, so would be happy for any suggestions.
Thanks, Fred
Hi Sebastian and Bruce
thanks for the Sunday afternoon assists. Unfortunately, not a VNC problem (am running it directly in X11, Xquartz 2.3.5), and yup, did check the color prefs in X11 - even commanding millions of colors didn't work.
Sounds like maybe it's not a very common problem though, so more likely I've done something weird to my X11 setup.
cheers, Fred

Hi, was this problem ever resolved?
I am seeing the same issue on my mac desktop.

Hi Thomas et al.,
I finally had luck with swapping over to XQuartz (2.7.0) - now the number and depth of colors is back to normal.
