The screen will be cleared on program startup on CX in the next update to avoid this (the documents screen cannot be displayed in grayscale).

I don't think this is a good idea, really.
As jim said, I only have to put lcd_incolor() and it is ok.

otherwise I can't do that:

IMO, Ndless shouldn't switch to grayscale mode at all. Old pre-CX programs won't work on the CX without a rebuild anyway, so there's no backward compatibility reason to do so. I expect most CX programmers will want to use color when available.

it seems great, but most people won't be able to use it yet, since normal people like we (j/k) don't have Ndless installed yet :)

but from the moment ndless appears, it will be a standard on my calc!

You're right after all, I don't know why I am sticking with this idea.

Switching to 4-bits indexed Grayscale is a good idea.

No it cannot make old Ndless programs work without a recompilation...

But it can make them work with a recompilation and without any modification to the original source code.

But any program with direct access to the timer ports needs to be adapted. Existing programs will need source code analysis and testing. Adding an lcd_ingray() at the beginning of the program is not much.

Good thing the CX version of gbc4nspire already manually sets grayscale mode, then (since I wrote it before auto-grayscale was supported)

Oh, speaking of, I don't have a CX, but if you loaded your CX with games and programs, it might be useful to have a basic nspire-emulator for the cx, or oslauncher for the cx, which is compatible with the .tno os update also.

CX calculators and Clickpad/Touchpad calculators are way too different from each other for each other's OS to work transparently on the other model :)

Hi

Is there any possibility to make hide manager to work with TI-nspire CAS with clickpad? If yes, is there a 'step-by-step tutorial for dummies'?

TIA

Hide Manager works on the Clickpads.
Since it is an ndless program, you'll need OS 3.1 and ndless 3.1 (of course).
Just read the "readme" file given in the archive, it describes it all, the rest of the process is detailed inside the program itself.
HideManager has been made non-user friendly, and there is a reason for that : security.
