Overwrite

Wait, why the new version of this image? I picked the old one because it was of such an insanely high resolution and looked pretty. While the new version's nice, it's about 1/5 of the size! Granted, the transparenting on the new image is better (no bizarre "glow"), so maybe that's why? User:Ando/sig 12:50, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Loading time for one thing. 2 MB + size images all over the site can really slow done the wiki. Plus it really didn't need to be that big anyway. Not for how it is used.User:Mjr162006/sig 12:57, October 20, 2008 (UTC)

I tried removing the glow of the original, but the quality wasn't good enough and gave it rough edges. If you know where to find the original image, I should be able to render it. User:MARKOL/sig 13:00, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Do we really need it? We have no use for such a large image. Like I said. We have got to keep loading times down. We don't need huge images of such a mundane subject.User:Mjr162006/sig 13:03, October 20, 2008 (UTC)

Not the size, I just thought it had better presence than the current one. User:MARKOL/sig 13:11, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

The only real difference in that area is that the other one has the startup logo instead. If only the angles were compatible.User:Mjr162006/sig 13:14, October 20, 2008 (UTC)

Actually, regarding size of image, I did a test just now. The image page states that the size of the image is 124 KB. On the DS Lite page (where the image is resized using the |---px option), I pulled up the image's properties as it was displayed on that page and it showed up as 44 KB. So the Wiki software gives you only what you need -- it doesn't load the whole 2 MB when you only need 200 KB.

Still, though, no, I don't know where to find the original of that image. Dang, if my sister's DS Lite wasn't all scratched up I'd take a picture of it for the site. :/ User:Ando/sig 13:30, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

It still takes longer to load a larger image. The software has to resize it. That isn't cheap on memory.User:Mjr162006/sig 13:34, October 20, 2008 (UTC)
