My impression was that that wouldn't work. When i made the entire Chips0.png image super tiny that even the parts that weren't covered by the chip's colors would obscure the text. I crudely experimented using the eraser inside MS Paint and that didn't work at all. Not surprisingly, it just used white.
The default Chips0.png is 15 chips of 14x11 pixels each. In order to be centered at the same place, one could reduce that down to 10x9 or 10x7 (10x8 doesn't work the vertical component would now be centered on a half-pixel instead of a whole-pixel). Extendeding to what you said, one would just make it so that the rest of the pixels in the PNG file were white?
I don't understand how that would work and to ensure that FullTilt doesn't display those missing pixels that are now white. I guess that part of it is that i don't know how FullTilt distinguishes from one chip to the next, unless it's hardcoded for each table size (i.e. ChipX.png file) and chip denomination.
Ah well, i'm not a Paint/Paintshop/GIMP person, anyway, so i'll give up. Now, i'm more just curious how the thing works.
