My problem is that I am using GraphicsGale v1.93.01 right now and I want to be able to click on any box in my Palette, change the R/G/B value so that the selected box and any pixels painted with it change as well as I move my R/G/B bars. The point of this is to make recoloring easier and I'm not sure how to set it up so that it will do that.
I've done it before to where I've pixeled out entire pieces and have been able to change the values just by clicking on the color I want to change (that I've been using to pixel with) in the Palette box and just moved the R/G/B to change entire portions of my sprite really easily and quickly, but right now my Palette is acting like any normal palette where changing any of the boxes in my Palette to a new color doesn't affect my sprite and I can't change what's in the box without double clicking it rather than moving the R/G/B bars to do it with.
I'm sure this might be confusing because I'm not really sure how to explain my problem and I've looked all over the place for an answer including reading through all of GraphicsGale help without finding the answer, but if anybody understands and can help me that would be greatly appreciated. If somebody is good with GraphicsGale as well and can't understand what I'm asking for help about and still wishes to, please PM me and I will do my best to explain my problem further.

You have to set your palette to indexed.
If you start making a new image, change the 24-bit thing to 256 colors (8 bit).
If you already are working on something, you have to make sure you have less than 256 colors, otherwise you might ruin your picture.
in the top bar click
All frames> Color depth> 256 colors
And done. If you now modify a color, all colors in the image change as well :)
