Introducing SilkSprite 2.0 Same Great Icons, 46% less Bandwidth

December 17th, 2007 Posted by Don Albrecht

Today I’m pleased to announce the release of SilkSprite 2.0. Everything about SilkSprite stays the same but the decompressed file size drops by an astounding 46%.

Key Improvements

11% decrease in size for sprite.css
50% decrease in size for sprites.png

My special thanks go out to Andrew France for achieving such amazing compression of the png file.

You can find the new version here:

Don:

First, thank you for the BlkueprintCSS plugin for the Silk icons! Already love it and I haven’t even used it yet.

Once question though… have you given any thought to creating a simialr plugin for the Silk Companion I and II icon sets as well?

Sincerely,
Keith
