This area is a part of the theme u r using. So u can open the msstyles file in Resource Hacker and can search for the BMP file. Then save the file, open it in a photo editing software, make required changes and then replace the original BMP with ur edited one. Thats it. ;)

You can also use "Styler" to change it...

It depends upon what dimensions were used while creating the BMP in that particular theme. it may differ for different themes.
Why not u just extract the BMP from msstyles file and open it in photoshop or mspaint and then check its dimensions? ;)
