On the left you have the apple icon, file, edit and all that, you can ignore those. Look instead on the *RIGHT* where you have the date, time, airport and those icons.

Hey, I am not sure if you, or anybody else that reads this, is still having trouble finding the millions to thousands of colors setting. It isn’t on the dock but the bar at the top of your desktop, but on the right side, not the left. On the left you have the apple icon, file, edit and all that, you can ignore those. Look instead on the left where you have the date, time, airport and those icons. You should see one that looks like a blue monitor. Clicking that will give you the drop down menu that has the thousands of colors options.

Thanks for writing up this guide. I haven’t gotten Torment working yet (mounted disc 2 with toast titanium and it is still asking for the disc. I am going to try find a no cd crack and try again.

Quite possibly — I’ve never tried it on 10.5, and the graphics drivers would be different. Maybe look for an older version of SwitchResX?

The only thing that’s different from the situation described in this guide is that I have OSX 10.5.8. Can that be the problem?

Nope, nothing like that. Thanks for the help anyway. I’ll let you know if I figure it out.

I’m on the trial version as well, so that shouldn’t be an issue. I’m not aware of any other programs that let you switch to Thousands. I can’t think of any other reason you might not be able to – a third party monitor or different system software, perhaps?

Thanks for the fast answer. I’ve done all that, but I still can’t set it to thousands of colors. I’m on the shareware version, can that be the reason? If not, are there any other programs that do the same thing?

@Jimbob: In the SwitchResX Preferences, go to Menus and make sure Colors are checked under Menu Extra – I believe that’s the setting to give you the option to switch to Thousands under the SwitchResX menu (not the regular Mac OS X displays menu). You might have to restart SRX after changing those settings. An up to date version of the program (4.1.6) should be fine.

Hi. I’ve got SwitchResX but I don’t get the option of thousands of colors. I’ve done all your steps, tried different resolutions, different versions of the program etc. but I only get the option of millions of colors. Any ideas?
