It doesn't launch exactly the same way on Windows 7 until you really set display color depth to 16 bit. You have to do the same on Linux. I managed to do that with running a separate X server, like this (from console terminal, switched to that with Ctrl + Alt + F3): xinit /usr/bin/xterm -- :3 -ac -depth 16 You may also need 'export DISPLAY=:3' in that terminal. Then the program starts just fine for me. This environment might be of course set up to something more convenient than a bare X with a terminal (like running some window manager). -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

True, but I think it's very inconvenient, especially compared to Windows, which has an executable parameter that allows to launch it in limited color mode. :( Plus, I imagine that might not be possible to do on something like (x)Wayland or macOS. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
