Hi

1st part of the changes to use the ST palette as a a PNG indexed color 
table (instead of RGB mode) has been merged into Hatari.

You can use "pngcheck" when doing screenshot to check if the resulting 
png has the reduced color table or not.

Note that as Hatari's statusbar uses its own colors, it can interfere 
with the palette from the emulated screen, requiring more than 16 colors 
in the end and preventing the switch to palette mode.

You need to check "crop statusbar" in the "Hatari Screen" menu to 
prevent including the statusbar and ensure only 16 colors will be used 
(except if rasters are used, of course)
