One for all you Style designers.
I have a knob Image of 47 x 47 pixels and a Rotator image of 72 x 72 pixels. Both are in .png files with 64 occurrences. So far, so good.
But, whatever I try I cannot get them to be that size in the Styles themselves. They always come out a few pixels smaller (and are therefore re-rendered). What is the secret?

Hey DarkStar I cant really remembered what I did with mine but I think I pasted it over an existing image in Photoshop.
Maybe give that a try.

In the setting do you have rye plugin size set to 100% X 100%. I seem to remember that you changed the Y value to make one of your styles look better. Just a guess but this could be causing the resizing?

Yep, tried that 
Titanium seems to be the right size so it must me something I've (not) done.

Are you absolutely sure you exported it at the right size from the graphics editor?
Sometimes, there can be a pixel size in the document, but the when exporting it can export at a different size. If you have double checked this, then I guess it is something in MStyleEditor and unfortunately I know very little about that.

Thank you for the idea. Yes, I had checked it in The GIMP and the size was OK there. I might try generating them (from KnobMan) at the same size as the Titanium knobs and see what happens then.

D'oh!. Sorry guys - all my fault 
I had forgotten that my Knobs and Rotators have a dark border. That colour was similar to the panel background so making the controls look smaller.
Here are expanded images on different backgrounds:
