How big is Resources.o on your machine? It's 261k here. So it is not easily imaginable how it can increase the binary size by more than that. And in fact, binary size is completely irrelevant here as immediately after loading of the binary all the pngs were loaded, with a total size of more than 1 MB. So in the end compiled-in resource lead to smaller memory footprint. Andre'
