When a Workbench screen is run with a depth of more than 3 planes (8 colours),
the
extra 4 colours set up in the multi-colour palette preferences are set as the
final
4 colours in the palette.  This means to use 8 colour icons on a 256 colour
Workbench
screen requires the icons to be of depth 8, which wastes disk space and memory.
256Colour copies the last four colours in the palette to colour index 3-8, so 3
plane
icons can be used.  Best used in WBStartup.
