I have an application which displays a 256 color bitmap in the background of a form. On systems where the monitor is set higher than 256 color the bitmap displays fine, but on a monitor that only supports 256 colors the bitmap looks terrible. Is there something I am missing or should a 256 color bitmap display ok on a 256 color monitor? I also have the same problem with bitmaps stored in general fields and then displayed in a form.

Someone must know what I need to do, any help will be greatly appreciated.
