Some remarks to FullPalette's FPPrefs v40.23 and the option in ENVARC:FullPalette/DOpusRPFix:

-1) If FullPalette is not used at all you usually won't get any wrong colors after a screenmode change (since icon.library 46.4.463), but for 16 or 32 color screens FullPalette is always a good choice.

0.) If FPPrefs v40.23 is used, but DOpusRPFix not, you will sometimes get completely wrong colors after a real screenmode change, but not after a depth change. For example when you switch from HiRes to LowRes modes with the same depth then even the four system colors may get lost.

1.) If DOpusRPFix contains the keyword "NORMAL" then most of the colors will stay correct after switching to a different screen with the same depth, but some icons on the desktop may have a few corrupted colors. That can be fixed with a click onto the DOpus5 menu entry "Reset Icons".

The advantage of this mode is, as Michael said already, after closing windows the screen can still get free pens back and new apps may show slightly better colors.

2.) If DOPusRPFix contains the keyword "FULL" then all colors will appear correctly after any screenmode changes but the pens are never released again and new apps may not look optimal colored.

For OCS/ECS systems I would recommend to use FullPalette with DOpusRPFix FULL, because all colors are locked anyway.

FPPrefs v40.23 can be found in my Aminet package under ThirdParty/FullPalette.
