You still can decrease PNG size by switching from 32 bit to 24 bit. Use 32 bit only for images with transparency. I have managed to decrease size of second PNG image from 84 KB to 70 KB using Fireworks. Generally for screenshots that show UI or text better use GIF or PNG. For photo better use JPEG.

The second image in jpg is just around 18 kb instead of the current, 83 kb png. I know, broadband, but why waste anyway? A Tip: You can have us a lighter webpage, if you use jpg instead of png.
