For TBitmap: The image is stored in the exe in the same format as it was
loaded. TBitmap does not support PNG. If the image is altered and then
saved it will be stored as .bmp.
.xpm is good for icons. For icons it could be even smaller than .bmp.
For TImage: The image is stored in the exe as the same format as it was
loaded. If you load a .png it will be stored as PNG.
Short: Create the images/icons in the format you prefer. The format
will only be changed, if you load for example a .png into a TBitmap. In
this case the image will be converted to a .bmp.
