Yeah but at the expense of having to build more complex code that's
harder to deal with as far as layout and resizing. It's not like
there's just some magical image compressing software out there or
anything, most of the savings come from relying on teh code to
reconstruct the images. Like the sky for example, that's only a 1x166
image that's just being stretched across the screen. Of course I
could take it even further and have the PHP code actually create the
sky from pure code, but it would be at the expense of processing power
for a saving of only 388 bytes (that's the total size of the sky).
What you see on the screen looks like a solid background, with a
moving logo, clouds and two moveable tablets...when in actuality the
site is comprised of the following:
clouds.png - 6.75KB
columnb.png - 3.2KB
columnin.png - 20.4KB
columnout.png - 28.9KB
contentshadow.png - 1.67KB
grass.png - 46.8KB
logo.png - 6.8KB
logoshadow.png - 13.8KB
navshadow.png - 1.2KB
sky.png - 388 Bytes
skyb.png - 322 Bytes
tile.png - 75.7KB
content.jpg - 27KB
contenttop.jpg - 4.07KB
nav.jpg - 14.6KB
nav.jpg - 2.55KB
And then most of those are used more than once. Like the column
image, which is made up of two images, is reused a total of 5 times.
The broken column is actually a complete column with the skyb image
stretch over it to hide the top portion and then on top of that is the
broken piece.

At this point the only way to get more savings would be to start
attacking the quality. I could greatly reduce the size, by close to
74KB simply by making the tile into a 4x4 section and then just having
it repeat over the given area, which wouldn't be too bad since the
tablets cover most of the tile, but then I've been playing around with
changing the graphics format to something like this:

If I did that the tile trick wouldn't work.
