additionaly, this is the dds from 1.4, so if you're running 1.5 (which i'm not yet) then you'll have to cut&paste these into the expanded 1.5 file.

as always, make sure to backup your original.

Would be nice if you would specify where in the game folder to place this file since it isnt JSGME friendly. If it was JSGME friendly you would not have to worry about backing it up either as it makes a back up for you.
