Ok, I put MA3Beta7e.scr and the logo file SSLogo256d.png in C:\Windows\System32\.

I double-click on MA3Beta7e.scr to start the Aquarium. When I press L, it toggles between the logo built into the Aquarium and the external file SSLogo256d.png. You can see this is working instantly because the external logo has been darkened by Jim.

I replace SSLogo256d.png with some other valid PNG logos and as long as the filename was SSLogo256d.png, it works perfectly. I'm able to swap between the built-in logo and the external file with no problems.
  • If the filename is SSLogo256d.png it works.
  • If the filename is SSLogo256d it does not work.
  • If the filename is SSLogo256d.jpg it does not work.
I am also able to grab any JPEG off the Internet, rename it SSLogo256d.png, and it works perfectly too. I think a lot of people will use this feature if it will accept JPEG files of any size right out-of-the-box. I think most people will do logos that just take up the whole crystal so they don't have to worry about transparency.
