icon scaling iterations 1 functioned poorly for scaled down and scaled up (when in-splace)

variant 2 better on scaled down but still some clipping on up, may continue adjustments

adjustments continued, display behavior remains odd, unsure how to address clipping outside of image modification itself vs simple scaling attempts

forgotten pseudo-solution recalled, addition of surrounding transparent/opaque buffer ensures full image content is shown in desired central position

banner exhibiting similar issue as check 2, may squish photons to achieve proper glow

banner 2 continues to insufficiently radiate, additional stretching will proceed

banner 4 appears to fit in-splace but in-passage appears rather small and unappealing, unfortunate tradeoff

additional squashing via removing of loose sprue seems to have slightly improved banner 5's appearance
