If you're using a computer from 1992, you should adjust your expectations accordingly. Amigas are great retro fun, and some modern add-ons like PPC accelerators and PCI busses with graphics cards can drag the Amiga a few years further to the late 1990s... but if you're hoping to get a whizzbang flashy colorful 2007 display on an Amiga 1200, I think your hopes are going to be dashed.

They're cool computers, I absolutely love my 1200... but I don't expect it to look and feel like my shiny modern Linux system.

I suppose I'm lucky that my idea of a nice looking desktop background is a solid black screen hehe...

Have you tried using something other than a JPG to see if that has the same problem?

Well, I have a 1200 with no graphics card, and I installed MUI because there are a good number of apps that need MUI to run. So, I'd say the answer is yes.
