this my not effect much people but y is the size of the banner 250X60 and the hub icon 64X64 ??/ if we could set them to 250X60 and 60X60 that would cut down on he time that a graphic artist has to resize an image is he is working form banner to hub icon which is the best way to do it. just a thought.

HUD icon is the size of 4 32x32 tiles, which I like. In my opinion, th banner should be in multiples of 32 as well...

why else... so you can tile DM icons into them!

I really don't know. It just seems more logical to have everything as multiples of a base unit.

Plus, they are small enough already, and they work. No need for change.

Then stretch it out in a program such as PhotoShop, Paint, or Paint Shop Pro.

Why would you be using the same image for both?

I design using photoshop. Why the hell design a banner/hub icon for byond, its so annoying being so small. Stick with wallpapers and other things. I also doubt anyone was a ton of banners that are 3px bigger, so no need to resize it just because one person is too lazy to add a few extra pixels. Just make a border! A 3px border takes up 3 pixels. No need to resize anything.

Originally the banner was supposed to be an advertisement for the game, while the hub icon was supposed to be kind of like a screenshot of the game (not that anyone follows that idea). So the two aren't supposed to be based on the same image.
