I currently use 'Giffer' to convert a GIF file to a PICT file.
I then use 'DeskPict' to diplay that PICT file on my desktop.

However, I'm unable to use the picture file's custom palette.
This limits the quality of the pictures that I wish to display.
Either 'DeskPict' is unable to recognise the picture's custom palette,
or the custom palette is being lost in the GIF to PICT conversion.

So, does anyone know of a (PD) utility that will display GIF files
on the desktop *AND* use the picture file's custom palette?

Thanks in advance.
