To me, they seem to be the same outer dimension, except one is color.

One is a compressed PNG. The other is an XBM B&W bitmap.

The color one makes more sense with regard to the technical issues,
but whether you need pictures of bananas all day long at the top of
your viewing window, I think that would get tiring after
about 30 seconds.

Maybe we could make a separate header line, with a more
compact compression method.

X-What-I-Look-Like: "My picture is a banana"

X-What-I-Look-Like: "Get a load of these two cucamelons"

The method requires no tools or add-ons. And the recognition
factor is higher.

And just as many people are likely to see those lines, as
see the Face and X-Face lines today.
