Logos are downloadable and are already in resolution 400x198. Just to compare ...
On PC they look good - the implementation looks like shit.
changing the logo is not difficult - but the selection of the color palette is a bit difficult, there are some material on the RLE encoding in web

RLE is only the compression and has no influence on how the image looks like. The algo was already discovered by Ursadon and me and documented here. What you refering to NXP is something different.
Because the display is set to only use 256 different colors at once, the dynamic range of an image is limited. The firmware does not make use of the shade-feature of the EPSON controller, which could apply up to 64 shades for each color.
So you load the image into, e.g. IrfanView and convert from RGB to 8 bit indexed-color-palette. This is what you get lateron.
Because of this fact images with high contrast will not look good.

Convers+ IMG Hacker v1.1.0



Fixes: .. hmm.. many or none.. don't remember as I did a lot of work with it :roll:

Added:
Possibility to load a RAW Image and use the "Themes" to see how it looks. A RAW image is an image in RGB8 format that is not compressed (RLE), like the way they are before sending them to the display controller (EPSON). This comes in handy when dumping the memory range from DMA address space that is reserved for image creation.

Appearance:
New UI with menus and icons, as there were starting to be too many - this is why I jumped the version from v1.0.1 to v1.1.0. Initially the v1.1 release was supposed to come with the migration of "Convert Image" from external window to main window, but the "RAW image load" feature was needed.

If you want I can give you the sources for all of this.
I am glad that my achievements did not go unnoticed :)
Since you could figure out my ugly code, we can join forces and develop together. Github?
