Hi Nio, I really like texture in my backgrounds, so the plain ones are something that are not my favorite style... it is why I edited the original ToriOS background to have more texture. I know some people really like that so I would be glad to include it as well. I updated the image based on your suggestions, as well. I smoothed things drastically, and reduced the image quality to get the file to 39 KiB. I personally would like to offer a few options for images in ToriOS. So, I am re-exporting the original at a lower quality (37.9 KiB compared to 187.3 KiB) So, default 1.0, default 2.0 and Nio default would still be smaller all together than the original. Do you think this is a good idea? I think we can offer more for our users this way, and still decrease the overall size -- Regards -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~torios-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~torios-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
