Ok, something different is going on here, Apocalypse_67 always shows his bootskins as are. I am not sure myself what the problem is. I will seek some help for you on this matter.

The previews are 640x480. If you are looking at the preview in any resolution other than 640x480....say like 1024x768 on a 17-inch CRT, the the preview will look much better than the bootskin which is displayed at the 640x480 resolution 
All bootskins only use 16 colors.

TheOneZer0....try to keep a handle on the language while voicing your 'frustrations' with the proggy.
Bootskins are limited to a default VGA driver with a max 4-bit [16 colour] palette....so it's probable that you are seeing the common 'grainy' effect which unfortunately is NOT always represented in some of the skins' previews....something I am particularly NOT in favour of....
