JPG is not really appropriate for such graphics. ;)

PNG is a lossless format that has a very efficient compression for large single-colored areas like in rasterized vector graphics.

JPEG on the other hand uses a lossy compression based on a DCT. The DCT creates artifacts on high contrast borders because these cannot be represented by the calculated coefficients.

Currently I extract the image from the jar file and use it as the application icon in the desktop file. Only PNG and SVG are supported currently (with XPM being deprecated).
