Have you upgraded to Allegro 3.0? This is all possible already done (except
truecolour 3d - see the WIP pages).

This sould be already working. I  am writing a game and the GUI routines rune
just fine in 640x480x2 (16 bit color). If you are having trouble seeing them,
considder a palette problem. Remeber to set FG and BG dialog entries correctly,
and to watch what video mode you are using. You will either need a program to
calculate colour values for you or a scientific calculator to get the 16 bit
numbers (or pencil and paper and draw out the bitfields :)  ) but it shouldn't
be a problem. Remeber if you want to call functions (ie makecol ), then your
struct must be dynamicly made.
