BlockOS [On hold until further notice]

Please, explain.

Compression is a little too ineffective. The quality lowers drastically if you increase the compression ratio even barely.

That's why you don't compress them.

That's why you don't compress them.

Even if you decrease compression to nearly zero, you still get faded colors and ugly artifacts.

But the thing is, we want to make BlockOS download as small as possible, exporting our desktop backgrounds as PNG would at least double the filesize.

Not if you compressed them. It's called PNG, Portable Network Grapics, for a reason.

You're all turning into port :c

Look, I used JPEG because IT SOUNDS NICE, OK? Nah. Fine. Ok. Hi.

PNG + compression will give same quality but smaller size compared to JPEG - compression.

why dont we have a compressed PNG since the current folder would be loving 13MB without even the mother loving icons/code/guis.

Then make the stuffload of desktop images OPTIONAL DOWNLOADS.
And then, use a PNG compressor. there are free ones online that work great.

That's extremely disgusting, why would you post such text so horrid. :(

i agree

Make desktop images be downloaded as you scroll down over them in the window and automatically delete the cache a minute after you close the window except for those images you're using as "wallpaper". This would also allow you to add default desktop images without making a whole new version.

Sounds like a great idea, could implement the skin, app, and wallpaper system into one and all are available to download.

Edit: Wat think, guys?

While it was a welcome attempt at making a nice style, it still doesn't really look good. Pay attention to the following:

• The window style.
• The gradient of the buttons in the top left looks horrid and is inconsistent.
• There's a ton of unused space at top center/right, however that's not really a problem.
• The scrollbar "pointers" are offsetted way too far from the sidebar. Also, get rid of their dark background.
• The description/download division of the sidebar is badly offsetted from the application title.
• You need more content in the sidebar, such as images and comments.
