Roy Eltham explained the need to keep graphics no larger than 256 as being an old video card issue.

I do not remember the make and model, and the vast majority of folks will NEVER have the problem, but some old video cards can't handle anything more that 256 in one direction. So if you tell it to use a 512 image, it smishes it down to 256 then stretches it back up to 512. Which really jacks with image quality.

With graphics rich skins such as TKings... you don't want the quality to suffer like that.

Again most folks will NOT have this problem.
