If you mean you are using bootskin images, changing to your liking the preparing them this will not work. These are
already 4 bit 16 color, if you add to them with Paint or whatever you are adding 24 bit. SkinStudio takes a 640 x 480 standard bitmap ( 24bit 32bit ) and coverts it to 4 bit. These have already been converted and contain only 16 colors.

I just checked SkinStudio, have not used it for a long time ( I use Gimp 2.2 to convert images to 16 color for bootskins ) it converts any standard jpg or bitmap to 4 bit 16 color. Any size.
