250kb.club buttons

it joined the 250kb club recently and got a lovely message with undertones of “please make new 88x31 buttons”

[…] You may like to hear that I added 88x31 badges now, but unfortunately, they are extremely boring compared to the ones on your page. Yes, this is a collab request in disguise.

yeah okay :3

the text color (and border color on the dark variants) is taken from the site’s blue bar for the content-to-bloat ratio, since it’s quite a nice shade of blue. (adjusted slightly for contrast ratio reasons, but close enough)

all buttons and files on this page (button-{bright, dark, dark-simple}.{png, webp, xcf}) are public domain, or CC0. just fuckin do what you want with them. (but please don’t hotlink them it reserves the right to replace the pngs with cat pictures. or a 89x32 button that’d be funny, subtly fuck with people’s layout)

button-bright

light mode button

and at 1x size:

button-bright.png (262 bytes)

button-bright.webp (144 bytes)

button-bright.xcf

button-dark

a dark mode button, with a glow around the border and text. quite a bit larger because of that.

and at 1x size:

button-dark.png (1415 bytes)

button-dark.webp (1014 bytes)

button-dark.xcf

button-dark-simple

same as the above, but without the glow, for file size reasons.

and at 1x size:

button-dark-simple.png (253 bytes)

button-dark-simple.webp (142 bytes)

button-dark-simple.xcf

and for reference, the script used to compress the pngs and make the webps is

fd --threads=1 -e png -x pngcrush -ow -rem alla -brute 
fd --threads=1 -e png -x cwebp -q 100 -m 6 -z 9 -lossless {} -o {.}.webp

(side rant: pngcrush isn’t fucking safe to run with -ow(overwrite) concurrently in the same directory. it doesn’t make temp files properly, it uses a fixed name (in the current directory), and will clobber your files)
