When you display a 256-color bitmap in Microsoft Windows Paintbrush, the
wallpaper color may change to a different shade. In addition, the wallpaper
color behind some icons may change significantly when you run Windows with
a 256-color display driver.
CAUSE
This behavior is caused by rotating color palettes. The color of the
wallpaper changes somewhat because Paintbrush realizes a palette that
conflicts with the one required by the wallpaper. Windows performs a "best
match" to match the colors after the palette has changed.
Some icons on the desktop may have background colors that do not match the
background at all. Control Panel and Program Manager icons, for example,
may display with incorrect background colors. Dr. Watson, however, displays
the correct background color. Dr. Watson repaints its icon when the new
palette is selected by Paintbrush; however, Control Panel and Program
Manager do not.
