    Hello all, I'm gonna explain what I mean.

    LWPC automatically creates an icon for your live wallpaper which is basically your background image. Nonetheless, since my backgrounds are very simple, being one of them totally black I have a very bad icon for the app itself, so what I did was to edit the "icon" file (keeping the same dimensions) located in "drawable" (72x72), "drawable-normal-hdpi" (72x72) and "drawable-normal-mdpi" (48x48) so that the live wallpaper shows a custom icon made by me.

    The problem I'm having is that when I do that the icon size gets a lot bigger, going from 145 bites to 3710 bites for the 72x72 icon and from 136 bites to 2520 bites for the 54x54 icon.
    The whole apk file also gets bigger.
    I would like to lower the size of the icon because I don't know if because the icon size is significally bigger, it may slow down a device running my lwp or something like that.

    I already used a PNG optimizer but the icon size din't change much, going from 4120 bites to 3710 for the 72x72 icon.

    So, do you guys know how to edit the icon without compromising its original light size?

    -Thank you.

    Those numbers are so insignificant in the big picture. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it.
