Re: Mystery of the grey scale images.

Jen,

To tell you the truth I was up till 2:30AM working on this.

IT turned out to be even more simpler than that.

I didnt' have to change the code at all.  I had to make sure the
PNG image is 256 color.  Anything over that and it goes grey.
Since the only image I changed was the case.. that is the one I decreased
to 256 colors, and uploaded it and all the colors came back.

Wow.

Thanks however for the info, I learn new things each day and it
is so much fun.

Thank you, thank you.

Nancy
