Custom Boot Screen File Size Limits

Hey there everyone, I've been working on what I'd like to be my boot and recovery screens for my custom firmware but I'm having a really difficult time keeping the file size under 100kb in a png file. Can anyone help me get these squished down in size?

Also: is it possible to replace the low battery screen?

Well looking at the tutorial (I don't have acess to a Mac right this moment) it say it has to be a PNG at 320*480 under 100kb.

In making custom logos for my 1.1.4 phone, I discovered that I could only successfully use a file of about 64K or smaller . For some reason in the process of applying the boot or restore image, Winpwn would make the file larger. Winpwn interpreted an 84K file as being 115 K or something like that.

My most recent logo had to be made smaller than full screen in order to get it to a small enough size. Also you can save the file as PNG-8 instead of PNG-24 if you have to. The easiest logos are the ones that are a fairly small graphic on a black transparent background. The ones with full color backgrounds are bit harder to get small enough.
