No, it's not lost, but you have to grab the palette there too, as a
separate object. I mean "new/palette" and then grab the palette
from your .PCX-file.

At the top of the "Grabber" there is a line, I think it's header or
something like that. There you should write the name of your
.h file (Force.h)
