Mode > Indexed.


EDIT: Meant Mode > RGB, Start reskinning, Mode > Indexed.

I suggest you turn this on before skinning though, otherwise your skin can end up ugly like a low quality .jpg <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

tbh im dumb
i forgot all about the colur mode thing :O

well i thank de for reminding me of it :9

i do that "Mode > Indexed"
when i make sprays 2?

Drfuzzy

Yes, it makes the colors "palleted" so theirs 255 diffrent colors max in your picture. Or otherwise known as 8-bit.
