Make the main picture with the progress bar on it, then cut the progress bar from that and save it seperately
That way both palettes are the same

I just maybe that the preview image that the author posted was made prior to converting it to a 16-color image that bootskin uses. It does misrepresent what the bootskin would look like on your computer and authors should be creating their previews jpg's from the 16-color image, not the other way around

/me steps away from the microphone and exits stage left.

Not really anything you can do, you should tell the author though

If you want to show us what it looks like...open up the bootskin file with WinZip (it's just a renamed zip file), c0py the bmp and upload it somewhere on the internet with a link here and we'll be able to see it
