We originally had 800x800px which wasn't large enough on your monitor, so I performed a sloppy enlargement to 1024x1024px, which you never commented on not working so I've assumed that this size fits everyone's display. We could have a separate background for different screen resolution, but this shouldn't be necessary because the system upscales it somewhat, making it less crisp, and vertically repeats it on mobile displays rather than fixing it into place. That actually causes an issue I have neglected since day 1, the gradient contrast from the repeats. We'd need a whole new design to fix this. However, if anyone has complained about it, I can't remember the last time they did. If we're sticking to the classic blue, could you experiment with different sizes? Try produce a better quality version of a large resolution than I did and use the console to test out how it looks.

.jpg images look especially poor on mobile displays and you can tell by crease-like distortions that are noticeably absent from .png images. We must adopt .png images wherever possible. Have you figured out why your device produced .jpg's instead of .png's?
