Nice 
Here's an easy way to convert them, using GIMP, Colour Replacer and Irfanview:
(Ok so it looks complicated but it's much easier than doing it all frame by frame!)
Download and unzip your chosen gif's.
Get this script and stick it in The GIMP's scripts folder, on Win XP this is "C:\Documents and Settings\<your name>\.gimp-2.6\scripts".
Open one of the animated gif's in GIMP and click "Save all layers..." which should be right at the bottom of the File menu, underneath Quit.
Change .png to .bmp and click ok!
Not sure how to set where it saves them... first time I tried it put them all in My Pictures and second time it put them in the same folder the gif came from.
Finished with GIMP now.
Next get Colour Replacer and install it.
Find all your new bmp's and put them into Colour Replacer's input folder, this is by default at "C:\colour replacer 1-0\input". Get rid of the demo pictures already there.
Open CR - the top colour should be set to the grey background anyway. Set the bottom colour to white (click "change" and choose white...) and click test to make sure it'll work. Then click "convert all" and close CR when done.
Open Irfanview and go to File > Batch Conversion/Rename...
In "Look in:" go to the folder where the bmp's are, probably still in CR's output folder.
Under "Output format" choose bmp.
Tick "Use advanced options" and click the button, then set it to change the colour depth to 24 bit and (if you like) to delete the original files.
See here.
Now choose where you want it to put the finished files, can be anywhere you like. If the directory doesn't exist it'll create it.
Click Add all and Start batch!
See here...
This stage is because Colour Replacer changes all bmp's to 32 bit for some reason, which don't work with Dink.
You can also use Irfanview to rename them so you can use them easily with Dink.
Use the same batch tool but choose "batch rename" instead of "batch conversion" (duh
).
Under "Name pattern" put how you want them to look, so for Dink you'd put "frm-##" with frm being your name of course. Add them and process the same way you did before.
Wow. That turned out a bit longer than expected
