gzip -9 takes the CSS down to 6757 bytes. That's not why it's impractical.

- huckfinnaafb 15y agoYou're right about gzip/deflate! And of course you don't have to use all the icons. So now my argument is probably that of browser compatibility and separation of jobs :)
- sambeau 15y agoGzipped SVG would be a fraction of that. That should be your new argument :)
- catch23 15y agogzip -9 takes the PNG down to 4714 bytes, still smaller than the CSS.
- jacobolus 15y agoAlso, the PNG image is 24 bits per channel, obviously unnecessary for this kind of project. Taken down to 8 colors it loses no effective detail, and the size is dropped to 2.6 kb, or perhaps smaller after gzip.
