Take that palette over the rainbow
In our last tip, we showed you how to recolour the wallpaper
bitmaps that come with Windows 95: Open the file in Paint,
save it under a new name, and start recolouring. You'll notice,
however, that when you open some of the wallpaper
bitmaps, a very limited color palette appears. If you want
more color options, save the file as a 256-Colour Bitmap.
In Paint, open a bitmap with a limited palette, such as
Bubbles.BMP. Choose Save As under the File menu, select
256-Colour Bitmap in the Save as type drop-down list, give
the file a new name, and click Save. Now select Save As
under the File menu one more time, and click Save. (Don't
ask us why--you need to do this to get the colours to show up
in the palette.) You'll now have a much larger palette from
which to choose. Happy recolouring!
