A pic, when rendered from vector with a decent editor, anti-aliases differently at different sizes. Every time the thing is scaled you loose quality (unless you are just really, really lucky). So, making bigger pics is easy but they are only loosely related to other versions of the same pic (when it comes to the anti-aliasing) and therefor not the best determiner as to the quality of anti-aliasing. But the system scale the pic up (without any anti-aliasing, just makes it bigger to fill the screen) on boot anyhow. The images sometimes look GREAT as 600x400 images on a 1024x768 screen because the pixels are so small that edges look good but when you see it as a boot splash you think "whoa! yuck!" because the jaggies kick in. I'm suggesting publishing a thumbnail, linked to a 600x400 image and to a 1024x768 version scaled up *without anti-aliasing* (so making the jaggies visible). Mark |
