One more thing about PalmTheme. It will
leave your system in greyscale mode even
after you deactivate it ... or even if
you never activate it in the first place,
all you have to do is visit the PalmTheme
prefs panel. "Activation" merely tells
it to start drawing the buttons instead
of letting the system do it.
Finally: a greyscale bitmap -does- show
up properly once the system has been kicked
into greyscale mode.
