I’m running OS X, but a program that I use quite frequently is only available in Classic. When I run it in Classic, I have to change my monitor setting to 256 colors. When I close the program and return to OS X, I would like to run a script that changes the colors back to “millions”. My attempts have led me to believe that this is not possible. Does anyone know for sure?
You can enable the Displays menu extra that gives you a quick way to change the color depth–this will be the same amount of effort as selecting a script from the scripts menu, and you won’t have to write the script. (From the Displays pref pane, select “Show displays in menu bar”) The other alternative is to have a stay-open script that constantly checks for the Classic app being frontmost and, if not, then change the depth. This is CPU intensive but will work if you absolutely need an automatic solution.

Thanks Jonn8- I didn’t notice the Displays menu extra. It will work just fine.
