Programs that allow one to change the background screen to graphic images are
great IF that image has colors which are reasonably close to the system CLUT.

This breaks down when the pictures have subtle coloring like fleshtones...

So my question is...how does one change the system CLUT so that it is in
agreement with a given background picture.  I haven't seen any background
screen programs which do this and there probably aren't any because such a
process violates the way color is supposed to be implemented as written
in the preface to Inside Mac Vol. 5.

But I still want to do it!  I know it can be done because some messy graphics
programs change the clut and then forget to change it back after exiting,
hence the picture looks really bad.

I haven't been able to find any CLUT resources in the sytem except the small
finder one that controls the icon colors.

I realize that this will make some things messy, but I have no problems with
an apple colored in fleshtones rather than a rainbow if it makes for an
incredible background screen...

Thanks...
