Comments

One can switch between the two color modes as needed, not just when an add-in starts.

Most of the time, the OS works with the indexed color mode to reduce memory requirements and increase speed. Exceptions include the main menu, whenever a g3p picture is displayed, and screens with a theme-related background like the eActivity file browser. Most custom add-ins work always in full color mode regardless of needing any color other than the eight indexed ones - this is a often forgotten optimization tip.
