OK, thanks for the heads-up on that, Lawrence.

I morphed ChemTest4_menu0_bg_15cols.png down to 4 colours, then 3, no
change in the response from spumux. Since the menu overlays are 2 colour
each, there’s not much else to reduce.

I’m doubly-puzzled, as previous versions were entirely happy with 256. But
for the bandwidth involved, I could send you scores of DVD ISOs with
full-colour PNG background images (Albany, Western Australia over here on
the West Island is not short of great scenery: I took a Kiwi Registered
Nurse on a cooks tour of the place in 2009, & she reckoned that “It’s like
Wellington, with all the bad bits removed!”). With this in mind, I strongly
suspect that a broader principle is at fault here, rather than a tally of
colours.
