Ok... for those of you frantically trying to make the best Ubuntu optimized usplash with Gimp, you will need to use imagemagick's convert function to avoid the pgn being stuck with an extra transparency color index. Save your palette optimized image into a bmp format. Use imagemagick's convert to vert the thing to a pure 16 color png. Example: convert myusplash.bmp myusplash.png Good luck. Hope this helps. NOTE: The palette will stick to the twiddled one you setup in Gimp which means Usplash will use all of your palette entries correctly. NOTE: Looks like Gimp insists on sticking a 17th color into the mix when it saves pngs. You can verify this with identify -verbose <FILENAME> if you don't believe me. That _is_ with all settings for png saving set to OFF with a 16 color palette.
Sorry, I cannot verfiy this here. When I make a pic with 15 colors it is only 15 colors. Works for me :-)
