You shouldn't use "InitShape" before loading them - "InitShape" is only used
if you are going to draw the shape yourself within the program using the
"ShapesBitMap" command.
"LoadShape" automatically initials it first...
This is not the cause of the problem, but it will waste memory.

Yes, you have an old version of the Blitz GTlibrary. This was fixed at
some point, but I'm not sure when. I know the version that comes with the
BSS works OK.
You could try looking in Aminet/dev/basic for an updated version.
Or maybe someone else knows when this was fixed, and where the updated
version is found?
Another solution is to use Freds NCS library. This will allow you to use
shapes of more than 4 colours as GTshapes.
Or even use the standard shapegadgets instead. Standard shapegadgets are
actually more flexible (you can have a set of MX shapegadgets) and since
you are defining the images yourself, they will look exactly the same...
Later...
