I'm surprised you don't run your browser in a seaparate screen, but I
guess it's personal preference. I found using Workbench or Scalos on
AGA in more than 64 colours a real PITA.

As for Scalos changing your screen colours, I couldn't possibly comment :)
But I'm sure there were some bugs listed about things like that. You
might find it not as bad with the latest bunch of datatypes and exe's
though.

The problem (in general, not just Scalos) comes with programs that do not
obtain the pens through the graphics library - they just grab them,
change the colour to what they want and then use them. There is no way
around this without recoding those programs, and I've never found a
decent way of re-loading my palette (the Mediator/Voodoo drivers
sometimes screws it up).
