Bootskins MUST be 16 Colours (4 Bit) bitmap pictures.

And both palettes MUST be EXACTLY the same

I would suggest that you save the colour palette from the main grahic, and load it into the Progress graphic.

Or else make the main picture with the progress bar on it, and cut the progress bar graphic from the main graphic.
