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).

> They should probably be recompressed to be a bit smaller; the gradients in the background may be at issue.
