Hmm we can't cater for everyone. Firstly, no the alternate set is the same
size as the standard to allow cross set swapping, plus 32x32 is the
standard size. Secondly, I run 1600x* and I have trouble seeing the
monsters even in 32 x 32 =). We are considering allowing the increase of
viewing area, perhaps we could also add decrease (use at own peril! ;)

      Um, I have to disagree, unless the alternate pngs are smaller than the

      *barely* fits in that with the xpm set (i had to modify the code to allow
