+All are textures loaded by StepMania are 16-bits.  The default the texture 
+format is 4444 (4 bits for R,G,B, 4 bits for alpha), which can cause some 
+banding artifacts or a washed-out look.  You can change the texture format by 
+adding "hints" to the file name.  Hints:
+
+"no alpha" - This will force a 5650 texture format (5 bits for R, 6 for G, 5 
+for B, 0 for alpha).  5650 textures cannot have transparency, but have much 
+better color fidelity.
+"1 alpha" - This will force a 5551 texture format.  If your graphic has only 
+"on or off" alpha (like a GIF file), use this hint for better color fidelity.
+"dither" - This will dither an image upon load.  Dithering will reduce banding, 
+but can cause transparency artifacts.  
+
+Hints can be placed anywhere in the file name, but are usually placed at the 
+end of a file name in parenthesis. For example:
+
+caution (dither, no alpha).png
+Arrows Left 1x4 (1 alpha).png
