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" https://www.palmtalk.org/forum/uploads/monthly_2016_08/cucamelon.jpg.bd29037ab80427877f780288e7a122a3.jpg 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. Paul
