What way do you prefer: A Grayscale image or an large non usable color
image i the DB? ;-)

The Windows Image parser scale down/reduce colors of an image if its
to large to display.

The ini keys related are:

max_tbmp_size=
tbmp_compression=
try_reduce_bpp=
try_reduce_dimension=
guess_tbmp_size=

BTW: maybe try to set tbmp_compression=true and guess_tbmp_size=false
(for bpp 1..8) help here to get larger bitmaps on newer palm os.

This db is launchable but contain no icon, so the launcher should show
the one from the associated program (plucker in this case). But there
are a Bug in the Launcher (beside some other ones :-) that this icon
disappear sometimes, so add an -icon are a good idea. BTW in Launcher
III it work fine.

Yes weird Palm Laucher :-)
