- Allocated system colors - in fact we still have UI for this in the
latest version of the code, but I'm not sure what it's for, or what the best value is, I chose a default of 100 because that is what I happened to have in my config file
- Private Color Map - the description for this setting is not helpful,
"Use a private color map". I have no idea what this does, or what effect it'd have, so end users are probably just as clueless.
Those two are for X with less than 15 bits for colors (usually 8 bits).
The first one tells Wine to use Y colors from the system (IE, colors which are the same from app to app). After that number is exhausted, I'm not sure if Wine tries to do a "best fit" between the asked color and the available ones.
The second one tells Wine to define a private color map. Visually, this will cause the colors on the screen to change depending on which application is at the foreground. Colors in non-foreground apps will appear messed-up, because the colormap used (8bits->actual RGB value for the screen) are different from app to app.
I guess not much people use X with 8bits depth nowadays, but I'm not sure it's a reason to drop those two configuration keys.
