Until recently I also ran WB 3.5 in AGA and 128 colours.
The real problem is the immense task it actually is to reduce
24 bitplane pictures to 6-7bit or less as well as sharing colours
with your icons. What I did was to reduce the backdrop and pattern
pics to 64 colour pictures. After that, things looked ok. There are
some really good graphics packages available that will do this job for
you. Colour remapping is no better or worse for JPG and PNG pictures
than for GIFs and ILBM pictures as someone suggested. (At least I
didn't notice it.)
