This breaks down when the pictures have subtle coloring like fleshtones... So my question is...how does one change the system CLUT so that it is in agreement with a given background picture. I haven't seen any background screen programs which do this and there probably aren't any because such a process violates the way color is supposed to be implemented as written in the preface to Inside Mac Vol. 5. But I still want to do it! I know it can be done because some messy graphics programs change the clut and then forget to change it back after exiting, hence the picture looks really bad. I haven't been able to find any CLUT resources in the sytem except the small finder one that controls the icon colors. I realize that this will make some things messy, but I have no problems with an apple colored in fleshtones rather than a rainbow if it makes for an incredible background screen... Thanks...
