# If you want to get a different image-type, change the selection

REFRESH 720
# Transparent tells the program and image handling software what
# color is to be considered transparent.  In this case, it's white
# and valid for a 24-bit color map.
#TRANSPARENT 0xffffff
# The following should work for a 16-bit color map.
#TRANSPARENT 0x0ffff
# The following should work for all color maps, now.
#TRANSPARENT 0x0ffffffff
TRANSPARENT 0x000000000

I was going to email them to ask if a larger image size could be made  
available.
