Thanks for replying with some of the information. I didn't know about the .tga format. The dimensions are really helpful. I threw 2 quick examples together merely so I could try the info you gave, I'll attach them here. I haven't tried, but I doubt the .tga versions I made will display here. 72px rez is fine for the Internet.

EDITED: Isn't 512px X 256px rather large compared to the graphic that now floats across the game screen?

These 2 examples look quite blurry at this size. Clicking each one to enlarge them sharpens them up just a little bit. I'm aware that bitmap images scramble when size is altered.

I haven't changed my CMYK colors to RGB yet. I forgot to do that! grin.
