PE Explorer, or other resource editor
open up the dll in pe explorer, delete the images that you dont want (if any) save the dll, then save all resources from it as images. then edit each image with GIMP or photoshop and convert the mode to indexed, make sure you auto generate the color palette (indexing discards all information about colors that are not present in the image, thus saving space). if you have photoshop CS2, I have already created droplets to convert bmp's and png's to indexed mode. I will attach them if anyone is following what I am saying.
after the images have been edited (they will now be much more lightweight) replace all the images in the dll and save, then use the dll in an EXT as normal.
if all the editing sounds scary, its pretty simple to just remove resources from a DLL. with PE explorer, all you do is right click it, and click remove resource. then say yes to the warning when you save the file so it can recalculate the size of the dll.

Thanx for your mini Tutorial on editing .dll files I was able to chang one of the rhodium dialers and make it a few megs smaller.Can you share those droplets you were speaking of and what index size works best (8,16....) and should certain files not be indexed and I found out compressing the files causes all kind of werd side effects ( using Photoshop)
