[ubuntu-art] pngtobogl SOLVED

[Troy James Sobotka]

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.

Grr...
