256 color icons in Windows

[Chipp Walters]

Hi Trevor,

I'd suggest creating a monochrome color scheme, and then dithering the icon
in Photoshop using an adaptive palette and forced black and white before
saving as a 16-color BMP.

See

if you haven't already. I've had success doing it this way.

best,

Chipp
