Marc St Posted Wednesday at 10:44 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:44 AM While I have no doubt there are optimisations can always be improved in areas, I think looking at a 0.1mb file these days is probably no one that is going to give you any huge improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We exist. Yes, even a fraction of a megabyte makes a lot of difference for us, in terms of both speed and internet cost. For clubs, it's 300+ kB, while it could be less than 1 KiB when implemented as SVG, is totally worth changing. P.S. I like how you rounded 181 kB to 0.1 MB Edited Wednesday at 11:18 AM by aia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Anderson Posted Wednesday at 11:53 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:53 AM I thought one of the major reasons for a major update to the visual interface was to be faster, leaner, and offer more options than ever before. "If" an .svg version of a graphic file can be reduced as much as @aia claims than it would meet all three of the criteria I mentioned earlier. I am not sure why it hasn't been included up to this point (It has been around for 25 years) or being talked about being added at some future point in time. aia and dmaidon1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloInter Posted Wednesday at 02:23 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:23 PM You might as well go even further and ask for it to be a plain color background by default with always the possibility of adding an image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, it would be a nice option for those, who do not need these patterns. But also, if they want to have some pattern there, why not? If it weighs less than 1kb, it's not a problem at all. With SVG, they can also add more of different unique or even dynamic patterns while keeping the filesize in a reasonable range. It's only a problem when meaningless image weighs more than the page itself Edited Wednesday at 02:38 PM by aia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloInter Posted Wednesday at 03:26 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:26 PM However it seems to me that all it would take is an FTP connection and an image with the same name and the same extension to replace the one provided by default. You would then have a basic image according to your wishes. We might also have an option somewhere in the Admin to replace this base image.

Ehren Posted Wednesday at 08:50 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:50 PM This is on my todo list, and has been for a while. Consider it fixed for version 5. SeNioR-, Meddysong, Chris Anderson and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
