Either DeskPicture (init) and ColorDesk (cdev) can make a PICT file as
Mac's background.  But if a GIF file with different color palette is converted
to PICT file, there is a distortion in color when used as background picture.
I was told that it's becasue PICT file use system palette and GIF file uses
custom one, so the color is distorted when GIF file is used as backgrond.

So is there a way to use GIF file as backgroud without the distortion of color?
Or is there a way to change the default system palette to a custom one?
