I've experienced this problem with my A1200. I figured that a 32 colour
image on a 64 colour wb would be ok. But it seems like some colours get
mapped incorrectly. If I display the same 32 colour backdrop on a 128
colour
wb screen then it looks correct. If I had more chip mem or a gfx card I'd
run it in higher colours but I don't yet.

cya,
