the last 2 (wb8.png and wb9.png) was my old amiga desktop - only
800x600 (but for an amiga that was pretty hi-res - 14" only) and my
whole desktop ran in 32 color mode only - I didn't need 256 colors, and
somehwo I still managed to make it come off okay... that comes form
years of palette designing experience :).
