I'm assuming your screen is in black and white during normal use, and you need to change the colour depth, right?
Okay, to set the colour depth: Click on BeOS. Then to Preferences. And select Screen.
The rest is easy.

Well the problem with os's besides windows is that they do not support as much hardware. So if you dont have a peice of hardware that is very common then the chances are it wont be supported. I have been using beos for a long time and they support much more than they used to. But im afraid its probly not the settings. I am almost possitive it is your hardware. Check out www.be.com i read about the os running in black and white when hardware is not supported

You Vid Card is not supported. BeOs is running you video in emulation mode, using the prossesor to decode the Vid signal. Your 100mgz PC has got to be running very slow. Correct? Be has posted a list of compatable vid cards. hope this helps.
Summary: I just installed BeOS 5 personal edition, but for some reason it displays black and white instead of colors. It says it needs the video card driver, my video card is an S3 trio 32/64. Where can I get ...
Summary: I cant get my BeOS to get out of black and white and its like busting a jackson on me and cant get vesa to work i have an 815 chipset plz help ...
