This page has an example of GIF images with gray in them; these and other such images look bad in NGLayout. Photographic images, however, look rather good. The issue is that we sometimes assume 8bit when we actually might have a more capable display.

Fixed yesterday (8/5), I believe. Looks fine to me under NT with the latest build. Should like fine on Win95 as well. Re-open if it still looks bad

Verifying as fixed (1.22.99 Mac OS & Linux builds, 1.21.99 Win32 build.) I do note that the gray background on the "Account Management" image (acctman.gif) appears somewhat more pixelated and less smooth between the different gradients of gray than the same image as viewed on 4.5, upon a close comparison. I am assuming that the problems Angus encountered were substantially more pronounced than this, and am thus marking the bug verified.

<...but, all images dither way better than when forced into an 8 bitplane color mode.>
