Image format is 1bit png.
Image size is 128x64 pixels.

You can clear it by selecting Boot Item in the OpenGD77 CPS. Then change the Intro Screen from "Picture" to "Char String".
Thank you.

Here is what I made for my radio. I found the tower clip art from google.

It's a low-res monochrome display, anti-aliasing won't work. If you want to have font sharpness, you need to draw/edit yourself.

The image is 1 bit. Many paint programs are not going to work well with that. As @F1RMB says, antialiasing is the opposite of helpful here.
This one bit mode is one of the indexed modes that used to be popular so many years ago.
So look for a tool like convert image format and hope you can find an indexed mode option and that you can set it to 1bit or monochrome.
You'll also want to specifically save it as a 1bit PNG file.

Here's a one page GIMP article on painting in 1bit for monochrome displays:
- https://www.silabs.com/community/wirele ... hrome-ICUo

Some programs just don't - e.g. paint.net - so its no use for this purpose. As usual YMMV
