Default components.bmp; An FYI.

Having done some messing around with images for components, I thought I would share one of my findings.

The components.bmp can be changed in size. What this would accomplish is adding more room for additional images, without having to replace, or overwrite existing images.

Of course, it should be noted that it is better to make the bitmap taller (as in adding rows) than to make it wider (as in adding columns). This is because if you add a column, you will now have to go back and rename most of the individual images as their name (being their index in the bitmap) is now different. Too, you would have to change all the image designations in the Components.TXT file. By adding rows, you can simply add in new graphics as you add/change components, without affecting previous items.

Just thought I'd share for those of you who may have been looking at adding stuff.
