Flash memory footprint of png images seems quite small to me.

Hello @PPete ,

It is not planned to create a keyboard without PNG in the future.

However, you could greatly limit the size of the images by changing the image format to L8_RGB565 (or another L8 format) and setting the compression to auto :

You can set the default image format and compression (this will change the image format and compression for all the images of your project added after that change) from your project's settings :

Hope this helps.
