apache_pb*.* - again

[Guenter Knauf <fu...@apache.org>]

Hi Daniel,
I think you did the last revisions of these pics, so I address this 
directly to you ...
it just came to my attention that the apache_pb*.gif look not so fine as 
the apache_pb*.png ones:
https://www.apachehaus.net/apache_pb/
it looks to me that probably there's some font anti aliasing missing; is 
it possible that you missed that when you created the gifs?

Gün.

Well, the GIF was made off the SVG, but what you said was essentially
right :) No more colors left = stuff starts looking ugly. The program I
originally used did not have advanced palette options, so there wasn't
much I could do to make it appear smoother back then.

I've borrowed a different program for creating the GIF images now, and I
think the result is looking much better. I hope y'all agree.

With regards,
Daniel.

Don't know how they were produced, but GIFs can only contain 255
different colors. If you open the gif and check the palette, you can
see, that it is already full and most of the colors are needed for the
feather. I guess the png was first created and then the gif from the png
and there was not good way for a better palette.

I'm not Daniel though ;)
