No.

This depends solely on SCREEN DEPTH, not the OS.

If you use 8-bit color on a Mac, all windows update as soon as you select
a color table from the list in xloadct, or as soon as a loadct command is
given.

If you use 24-bit color on a Unix box, the windows do not update until
they are redrawn.
