Bug Description

Most of the cheese-common package is bloat but it is required by many other packages as a depends.
The vast majority of this bloat has to do with effects.png . The captions on the small image boxes are barely readable within yelp [I had to open the PNG standalone]. They are mostly small image boxes that aren't detailed enough to see the effect even on a high res screen. The default yelp sizes ruin any potential use of having a high res image there due to restrictions within the app itself. Much of the image is simply blank white space doing nothing at high resolutions.

After doing some digging I realized the small captions on the boxes are all in English, regardless of what language folder you are under. The one upstream from 3.12.x is half~ the size and works with either.

Locations. 2.1MB+.
