| Graphic name | What it's used for |
Size/type | Preparation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Static logo | To brand the Internet Explorer browser with your logo | 38-by-38 pixel and 22-by-22 pixel .bmp files |
Create two 256-color bitmaps (38-by-38 pixels and 22-by-22 pixels). Save the files in the custom bitmap folder (CIE\Bitmaps). When the browser isn't active, the first frame of the animated logo will be used as your static logo. |
| Animated logo | To brand the Internet Explorer browser with your animated logo | 38-by-38 pixel and 22-by-22 pixel .bmp files |
Create two 256-color bitmaps (38-by-38 pixels and 22-by-22 pixels). The bitmaps must contain a vertical stack of animation cell images that follow Internet Explorer animation rules (see below). Save the files in the custom bitmap folder (CIE\Bitmaps). When the browser isn't active, the first frame of the animated logo will be used as your static logo. |
| Setup bitmaps (for Windows operating systems only) | For 32-bit versions of the browser Left vertical: 162-by-312 pixel 256-color .bmp (on first Windows Update Setup wizard page) Top horizontal (on all but first page): 496-by-56 pixel 256-color .bmp For 16-bit versions of the browser |
For 32-bit versions, the top horizontal banner needs to be light, like a "watermark," to allow text in the user interface to be readable. | |
| Toolbar background | No specific dimensions | Background should be the size of the toolbar and light enough to show black text. | |
| Internet Connection wizard | Top image 49-by-49 pixel .bmp file Left image |

| Autorun splash screen (Windows 32-bit platforms only) | To display a splash screen when the user inserts the CD | If you distribute your custom browser on a CD, you need to create a (540-by-357 pixel) bitmap for the Autorun splash screen that is displayed when the user inserts the CD. | Before you create the splash screen, you need to convert any 24-bit images to 256-color identity palette. |
| Channels | For each channel: 32-by-32 pixel icon, 80-by-32 pixel graphic for channel bar, and 194-by-32 pixel graphic for channel pane. The 80-by-32 pixel and 194-by-32 pixel graphics can be in .gif, .bmp, or .jpeg format. The channel category graphic is used in Windows 32-bit platform versions of Internet Explorer only. |
