Why doesnt this become red, in 16-bit mode? (added spacing so you could see better) unsigned short color = 0x11111 000000 00000; instead it becomes black. In the next 80 years 6 billion people will die... [edited by - pag on May 24, 2003 1:26:53 PM]

Because 0x doesn''t mean binary, it means hex. A short can hold 2 bytes (4 hex digits) of data, and your lowest 4 digits are 0, or black.
