	I've read a few posts about using HAM8 mode on the Workbench
screen.  I downloaded "WBHacksAGA" from the Aminet, and modified my
envarc:sys/screenmode.prefs (after renaming the original!) to use HAM8
mode.  It definitely starts up OK in HAM8 after the reboot.  One thing
I noticed right away was dramatically improved speed over the "normal"
8-bit (256 color out of 16.8 million) mode.  However, it also seems to
confuse the hell out of the Workbench, and any program that tries to
put an image on the Workbench screen.  It also seems to muck up the
top 4 colors of the Workbench's (AmigaOS3.0 on an A1200) palette (they
all come out as a bright green).  I can't change the colors in the
palette program in Preferences because it's the one program on my hard
disk that still seems to think that the colors are OK.  When I run
AMosaic and have it display a JPEG, for instance, on the Workbench
screen using an external viewer (MultiView), the JPEG ends up looking
much worse than it does on an ordinary 256 (or even 128) color
screen--like it has only 16 or 32 colors instead of many thousands to
display the picture.  Additionally, if I try to use any picture with
lots of colors for a background on the Workbench (not something I
actually want to do, but I tried it as a test to see if the mode was
working correctly) the colors come out totally wrong--so bad that you
can't tell what the picture is supposed to be.
	Has anyone managed to get this to work properly?  Is there any
way that HAM8 mode can be used on the Workbench screen and still have
programs function correctly?  Thanks a bunch (or maybe two).
