I've made versions of the tool bar icons that uses fewer colors, and
these get used on color displays with 256 colors or less.  The original
icons uses a lot of colors, on average around 50, but some more than
200.  No wonder the colors run out on a 256 color display.
Needles to say, the icons with fewer colors does not look as good as
the originals, but it is not that bad.  You can see the differences
