With an image editor, ""decrease color depth"" to ""8 bit"" or set ""mode"" to ""indexed"".

Which one of the 2 options you'll see is subject to what image editor you use. I'd recommend Gimp, you can correctly set your zero color with it very easily too.

Yes but to my knowledge there never has been or will be any .PCX support there, and .PCX is your goal.

I'd just get gimp, it's a free program, does everything you need for this purpose.

Just google it, then follow what I said in my second post here. I'll then tell you how to set up color zero.

set ""mode"" to ""indexed"".

^ This, it's under the ""image"" tab

Then, under the ""colors"" tab, find ""map"", you should see an option reading ""rearrange colormap"", click it, identify your background color, drag and drop it to number zero [ top left ], save it as .PCX, you're ready for use.
