I have been trying to setup a gif picture as my background using DeskPict.  I
used Giffer 1.0 to save the picture in resource id=0 format (startup screen) and
then placed the new file in my system folder.  On startup, the picture does
appear as the desktop background, however, the colors and the resolution are
distorted.  It seems like the picture is being displayed in 16 color mode
instead of 256.  Anyone has run into this problem before?  Any solutions?

Using:  Mac II, 5meg RAM, 8 bit video, Apple RGB, system 6.02, etc.

Thanks
