Why don't bitmaps display properly on some systems?

Notes uses a specific set of 256 colors for display; Notes will force all images to be displayed using these colors. On systems that have video drivers that have 256 colors or less, you will have to use the same 256 colors that Notes uses. On systems with more than 256 colors, this is not an issue.

The palette is available below in several formats:

Adobe Photoshop: lotus.act
MS Paint (Win95 and NT): lotus.pal
Corel Draw: lotus.cpl
