Yep, good.  But what is "hower"?

Whatever you used to edit the tile.xpm has either changed the
colormap, or at least re-coded the ascii characters used for
the colormap in the xpm.  Forcing the new graphic to use the
old colormap may help.  (Or if you provide a small image with 
just the new graphic, probably someone can add it in cleaner?)
