bootslash/screen: background with artifacts
Last modified: 2006-03-08 14:16:55 UTC
The new beta2 bootsplash has artifacts (looks like jpeg artifacts) on the lower side (near the points) ... really ugly!
this is due to the compression in the jpeg...increasing quality (and therefor file size) of the jpeg. Can you check this in the Beta3? It should be fixed.

Looks as fixed, but the old files with artifacts are used during installation. Should be also fixed
check the rc1 and see if it is fixed already
I think it's ok now. Around 'Press ESC for...' there are still some ugly points, but this shouldn't care :-)
In RC1 I can still see artifacts. JPEG just isn't appropriate for these kind of images (no matter how much compression is used), can't you use PNG instead?
unofortunately these pictures are added to the initrd, so size is of importance - so we can only use jpegs.
we have new JPEGs anyway
