I think I remember that fixing the GUI was a matter of simply converting the PNG files to 256 colors, 8bpp or something like that. I have lost my Dreamcast stuff in a hard disk drive crash last year (trying to get it fixed asap but it's rather costly) so I can't really check what I did, but it was something that was easy to fix.
The "real" fix for it would actually be converting it to RGB565 (16bpp - 65536 colors), not 8bpp. That said, he's working on something entirely new, not just fixing the color banding issues with the old one.

I'm not sure if that's expected behavior, but it's what I saw. Easy workaround on my laptop, but this could be an issue on the Dreamcast version if there's still no way to toggle BIOS support on and off -- not sure if that's still the case?
