Wrong colors on desktop in 16 Bits

Okay , I recently got TweakUI for Windows XP. I just don't know what I did but now all the icons are in 256 Colors but the rest is in 16 Bits. I switched to 32 bits to see if it works and it does (transparency effects and all). I checked my computer for any problems with the video card and all but can't find anything to change only the icon colors. In desktop properties , when I go and see in the parameters tab , it says that resolution is in 1024 by 768 and the Color is in 16 Bits ( I can choose between 16 and 32 ).

I tried to reload the icon library with TweakUI and with TuneUp Utilities but still the icons are in 256 even thought it's written 16 bits.
Btw , I wan't it in 16 bits for compatibility with some proggies.

Thx for your help
