The color of icon should be changed according to status of real device which
represented by this icon. For example, there is a lighting switch and its
icon. If switch is ON icon should be yellow, otherwise it should be black.
But in real device icon every time is pink. I suspect that something wrong
with pixels coloring using SDL. There is a method
OrbiterRenderer_SDL::ReplaceColorInRectangle in the OrbiterRenderer_SDL.cpp
which changes colors of icons. Maybe SDL for nokia 770 uses different color
format for pixels?

Thanks, I check it.
