What is the File Format of a Windows 95 Logo ?
The logos used by Windows 95 are windows bitmaps (.BMP) that are 320 pixels wide by 400 pixels high by 256 colors saved in the RGB format. The file size seems strange, stretched, but it is correct, when it is displayed, it will display properly, if your creating your own logos you’ll have to take this stretching into account. The RGB format is important, some paint programs save in an RLE (Run Length Encoded) format by default which while it will display properly in most other uses, will NOT work as a logo. A proper logo file will be a LEAST 129078 bytes, some are slightly longer because of extra author / copyright information saved at the end of the file.
