The Hit area is not displayed.


Be thankful for 2 things:

1) Your images are visible in 256 mode.

2) Relatively few people (by percentage) have color set to 256.


If you need better than average results in 256 color you need to design

in that mode, use only Web safe colors and not use gradients. This will

of course will generally result in rather limited artistic choices since

the Web safe palette is very limited.
