The plaque appears to the player as a frame entirely in one piece but is actually made of many small graphics glued together... except when the glu fails at properly sticking things together, like in the objectives plaque above with its awkward 1 pixel gap around the borders.
It also appears on the goodbye "plaque" appearing when you ESC to the menu and QUIT.
On the other hand, curiously when it's a regular plaque (a message from Tyranith) it doesn't show (well... in fact there do are some unexplainable transparent pixels around the corners, just it's more discreet).
