Compression is magic! (and more animations?) [megaman watch face]

So through this whole project, I've been using uncompressed PNG files for all the images,
and I kept running out of ram.
(as spoken of in my last few post) but turns out, on a screen size this small, compressed images is not a big deal!

Can you tell the difference?
 

on a small screen, I sure can't!
so for everything (except the background), I added just a little compression,
and the files sizes shrank dramatically!
and because of that I can now add even more animation!

below is an animated gif of the new animations in action
(both are on a time delay, so you may have to watch fro 20-30+ sec to see them all (2 animations))
I also worked a little on the blink to make it look more natural.











(Colors look better in real life)

Also I added a visual queue that tells you when your phone is disconnected.














and yes, I am very busy today, I woke up early, and every free second went toward working on this.
no more will be done until tomorrow.
