I use ZLauncher and the backgrounds I use take up 300K on my internal mem but only about 20K when viewed through my mem stick using Clie Files. What gives. I tried to the delete the 300K ones on my internal and then I lose that background on ZLauncher. It's like the same file is located in two different spots but with different sizes and I can't delete on without screwing up the other. What am I doing wrong?

Nothing. Active backgrounds must be in RAM and must be bitmaps. Inactive ones can be stored as jpegs on the stick to save space. ZL simply converts them to bitmaps on the fly when you select them as the current background. A 320x320x16-bit color bitmap is about 200K, and a 320x480x16-bit color bitmap is about 300K.
