Why do the winamp systray icons look like they're only 256 color and not 16 or 32bit?

I'm using winamp 2.8xand I have it setup to minimize to the system tray. All of the winamp icons you can choose from (except for one) look like they're not rendered in 16/32bit color. Anyone else ever see this? The one that looks correct is black and white, so its not like there's much to screw up.

Might be 256.. ?

There is a reghack out there, and or a program to make it easier.. Check that out.

XP 'fixes' this and displays them in true color by defualt..
