Low quality images in getting started #115324

It seems like all images are poorly encoded, they're png though so they shouldn't be. Were they exported using a limited color set or something?

Examples:

They've been lossy compressed using pngquant. The current images are are lowest (40%) quality, so I have some room to increase quality while trading off size.

Full color pngs are typically still really small unless you're working with photos. I'm all about perf but a few extra kbs are totally worth not having this blurriness/bad dithering.

Solved by using SVGs across all images.
