Image processing is not my forte!
I compressed the PNGs from:

14.4MB->11.2MB

by running them through TruePNG. (The older compression tool made by the guy who created ScriptPNG + ScriptJPG, now known as pingo.)

It works by:
  • losslessly compressing the image
  • throwing away the Alpha if not needed
  • removing the metadata.

QoL Side Note: And while I was skimming through the images, I noticed:

When presenting data in columns, it's best to follow these key rules:
  • Text = left-aligned
  • Numbers = right-aligned
    • Aligning on decimal if needed.
  • + Match headings with the data's alignment.

This allows your eyes to easily read/compare rows.

So this:

Code:
(Left) (Left)    (Left)
Level  Included  Hidden
h1     9         0
h2     52        0
h3     0         182
h4     0         61
h5     0         0
h6     0         0
would change to this:

Code:
(Left)  (Right)  (Right)
Level  Included  Hidden
h1            9       0
h2           52       0
h3            0     182
h4            0      61
h5            0       0
h6            0       0
(All "ones"/"tens"/"hundreds" align.)

Similar alignments can probably be used in other number-columns throughout Sigil.

I'm thinking:
  • Spellcheck List's "Count" column
  • The numbers in Tools > Reports

would be easier to read with right-alignment too.

Code:
File Size
123.34
56.78
9.00
1.23
vs.

Code:
File Size
   123.34
    56.78
     9.00
     1.23
