You have to understand the the old RCO Editor works differently. By using a 16x8 8bit BMP icon in the old RCO editor, it takes less memory than a 1x1 PNG in the newer editor. You see 1x1 in the PNG, but it is still really 16x8 and 32bit. 8bit takes up much less space but can only have one color as transparent. Zinga's 0x0 icon should take up even less space though.

8bit BMP will save the most memory, but has very limited alpha options.
32bit BMP will save some space, but getting the alpha right can be annoying.
PNG saves no space but alpha is done automatically for you (but doesn't always convert it correctly).
