Yes, they're different colours so it's slightly hard to compare. Look at the lasers: In the latter image they're 1px, but in the former the game has stretched them to being 2px, creating funky artefacts.
Perhaps that's the problem you encountered here?

Exactly

To clarify: You're probably talking about textures for use in-game (paint for tanks and whatnot). We're specifically talking about textures used in the UI.

Mipmapping and related concerns make textures for use in the actual game a whole different kettle of fish. It seems you can get away with any multiple of four in the UI. Presumably what you're saying about powers of two is a valid constraint for in-game textures, probably vaguely related to mipmaps.

This is likely to be the root cause for an enormous number of oddities in textures in every aspect of the game. Absolutely anywhere you get a dimension not divisible by 4, you're going to get major problems with resampling of pixels.

This might be to do with the scaling the game applies to all textures it loads: IceDreamer and I recently encountered this ourselves.

Basically, make the sizes of your images divisible by four (padding with transparent pixels if you need to) and things will improve.

Hey,

Well yeah on small images you arte going to get some colour bleeding, just dropper the original colour and apply it to the converted image one pixel at a time.
colour it in so to speak.
