Paletted is going to be a pretty close approximation to colored subrects (probably superior). Since Tight is compressed, the result should be that Tight always does better than compressed hextile.Not to mention the fact that ZLibHex is not supported very well across clients.Regards, Anthony Liguori
Looks like a matter of a few days to make it into git. That will be in time for the 0.13 release which will probably be July 1st.
