[jira] [Commented] (CB-1495) iOS default splash screen images take
up several megabytes
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1495?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13476424#comment-13476424 ]
Patrick Mueller commented on CB-1495:
-------------------------------------
I agree with Jesse's comments on the m/l. Gradients. KILL.
Or ... I just tried using Acorn to save as a JPG (do they support JPEG?). At 80% quality, compressed to 134KB. Looked pretty good to me!
If they don't support JPEG, I wonder if switching from a 24-bit to 8-bit PNG would help. Looks like I can get that down to about 240KB, but ... artifact-y.
I'd vote to just kill the gradients. Next point release (not 2.2).

Yeah, these files are intended to be overwritten by the app developer
anyway, no reason in my mind for them to be huge fully realized
graphic assets.
I think we should even go so far as to add 'placeholder' text, so that
people know that they should replace them.

Posted by Patrick Mueller <pm...@gmail.com>.
Just tried recreating Default-Landscape@2x~ipad.crushed from the original
icon, with a solid gray background - png is 82KB.
KILL THE GRADIENT.
