It seems like i need to keep images to 16 colours only, but even then my
results are patchy. Anyone any ideas? The actual code isn't too tricky, but
the display of the images is really a mess.

final Menu mb = new Menu(shell, SWT.BAR);
final MenuItem icon1 = new MenuItem(mb,SWT.PUSH);
icon1.setImage(myIcon1);
