It almost sounds like there simply aren't enough colours to "map to"
when drawing the images. (You said you were using a 256 colour palette?)
My understanding of how OS/2 (or most systems) work is that whatever
window is in focus will remap the colours to try and show the image as
close to what is to be as expected as possible. Now, and interesting
thing is if you are using the "modern" theme in Mozilla, (the browser
being rendered first before the content) does this shadded theme use up
most of the palette before it can even start rendering the images?
Perhaps trying out a reduced-colour theme (like Lo-Fi) might bring some
improvement?
Just a passing thought.
