Introduction
viewtopic.php?f=100&t=536#p8929

Files sporting the PNG extension are used to display images. Such files contain Portable Network Graphics (PNG) code which is stored in binary format. A PNG file contains a single image in an extensible structure of "chunks", encoding the basic pixels and other information such as textual comments and integrity checks.

The PNG raster-graphics file format supports lossless data compression. More specifically, it supports palette-based images (with palettes of 24-bit RGB or 32-bit RGBA colors), grayscale images (with or without alpha channel for transparency) and full-color non-palette-based RGB or RGBA images.

Modders can modify / edit images contained in PNG files via graphics manipulation utilities such as GIMP and Paint Shop.

In addition, file

PGMOUSE.CUR

All depicted images have been "borrowed" from SSI... Reasonably capable image manipulation utilities (e.g., GIMP, Photo Shop) can be employed to edit such files should a modder wish to do so.
