ImoststronglyadviseAGAINSTanyfancygraphicsforLaunchELF.
Rememberthatthisisanapplicationthatwilloftenbeusedfrommemorycard,soitis
imperativetokeepitssizedown.AddingafancyJPGbackgroundwouldbepossible,butitwould
probablymagnifythesizebyafactorof10orworse!!!
ThesamephenomenonisnoticeablewithHDLtoo,wherethosewithsupersimpleBMPspackto
asizeofappx155KB,whereasthosewithcomplexBMPspacktoasizeofappx1300KB,with
evenworseresultsforsomeofthem.ThefactorwouldbelargerwithLaunchELFhowever,as
theaddedpicturewouldbealargerpercentageofthepayload.
Summingup:Ifanygraphicsareadded,keepthemsimple,tominimizesize.
