Add original resolution background image
- A photo of a rainbow flag is used as the website background and
README.mdheader image.- The current image is $(1024681)/(30082000) \approx 0.12 \approx 1/8$ the size (in pixels) of the original image.
- Due to the smaller scale, and perhaps high compression by Wikipedia, "pixelization" and image compression artifacts are visible on some (wide) screens.
- Retrieved the original 3008x2000 pixel photo by Ludovic Bertron from Wikipedia (CC-BY 2.0).
- Compressed for web using
imagemagick; from 2.9 MB to 485 kB. There are some artifacts, but not as clearly visible due to the higher resolution.- Keeping the 1024x681 pixel (132 kB) image, for now, since it has been used for long time and might "break" older revisions of
README.mdetcetera.Resize command used:
