EHM Badge Generator
EHM-1001 Robert:
I noticed it only on the 1st try. Since then, it reloads from cache ;)
EHM-1365 Benjamin:
Hi Phil,
Do you have a screenshot award? I do not see it on your profile :s
For the loading times, the file can be smaller, however you will lose quality...
PNG-28.5KB [Currently used]
JPG-7.25KB [Would you prefer this?
GIF-9.38KB [Think we can rule this one out :P ]
EHM-0654 Murray:
Ben,
When I was "hand-crafting" my badges (up until a week ago... thanks mate ;)) I used 256-colour PNG and reduced the badge to 75% of it's default size.
While I'd love to be able to get the new auto-badge smaller (far future suggestion...), of more use would be limiting the palette down from 24-bit (particularly on file sizes, and hence loading times).
Example: just threw my auto-badge ("Raw" 24-bit, 25.4KB) through PSPX and I come up with the following (Optimised octree, 256 colour, 8.89KB):
If you compare it with the "raw" file (my avatar) they aren't really all that different.
EHM-1365 Benjamin:
Good thinking Murray, now changed to 256 colours ;)
EHM-1199 Philip:
Ben, the JPG isn't too bad. I don't know if you have made any changes but it certainly seems smoother loading now.
My Screenshot award was March 2005 - a blinding one whilst over a Greek island though I do say so myself :)
