Basically it means whether the background bitmap should be shrunk down by half and kind of blurred somewhat as a side effect of the averaging process during the shrinking.

The sort of good part is that the blurring would give the alpha transparency around the borders of shapes to have some partially translucent spots rather than only having either fully opaque or fully transparent spots with no in between things.

The bad part is that with less resolution the pixels are larger and more noticeable when zoomed in.

Maybe to start with I won't try to do any kind of processing on the background image and just leave it up to you to do any blurring or down sampling if you want that.
