I'm trying to make a quick application that uses Allegro.  I made it and the
only problem is the background is that bright pink used for transparency.
How do i make the background black or another color other than pink? here is
the code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include "allegro.h"

//Availible Res: 300x200, 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864

#define WIDTH 640
#define HEIGHT 480
#define PIC1 "omega.bmp"
#define SND1 "test.wav"

int main()
{

 SAMPLE *sound1;
 BITMAP *allegro;
 PALLETE pal;

 allegro_init();
 install_keyboard();
 set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, WIDTH, HEIGHT, 0, 0);
 install_sound (DIGI_AUTODETECT, MIDI_AUTODETECT, NULL);


    // Load Bitmap Into Memory
 allegro = load_bitmap(PIC1, pal);
 set_palette(pal);

 //Display Bitmap
 blit(allegro, screen, 0, 0, 0, 0, WIDTH, HEIGHT);

 //Play Scary Music
 sound1 = load_sample( SND1 );

 readkey();
 play_sample(sound1, 255, 128, 1000, 0);
 fade_out(1);
 stop_sample(sound1);
 destroy_bitmap(allegro);

 return 0;
}
