Noticed you use obscene number of graphics. Out of curiosity I tested if they can be optimised, and they do. This way shaved 2MB in size from it. You can find them here in directories, as they are in repo.
Although I, personally, think that having icons every 4 pixels or so, is overboard, I processed them all and encourage you to use.
We should not compress images in Assets\OriginalAssets because it's original assets.
For packaging resources, I use pngquant to compress them.

Assets\OriginalAssets because it's original assets.
I don't get what you mean by 'original'. They already are compressed - they are .pngs that are compressed, so what's the difference?
And, If you really want to leave them as 'original', then leave them this way, use the rest.
For packaging resources, I use pngquant to compress them.
Apparently it's not very efficient. I only optimized their compression with apngopt, and reduced their size by ~22%. If that's insignificant, then ok.
As I said, use it if you want, that's good, if not, it's also good.
I don't get what you mean by 'original'.
First, I should inform you that the PNG is a lossless bitmap image format.
The original PNG is originally generated from original SVG files via my generator as high quality as possible for better post-processing via other generators which converts the original assets to package assets. (So, Assets\OriginalAssets folder content will keep original. And it's not affect the package size because we use Assets\PackageAssets folder and Assets\PreviewPackageAssets folder for packaging.)
Apparently it's not very efficient.
I need to consider the ratio between quality and size. So I set the pngquant quality value to 80.

For comparison between mine and yours Assets\PackageAssets folder and Assets\PreviewPackageAssets folder.
Assets\PackageAssets folder
- Mine: 927.896 Bytes
- Yours: 925,101 Bytes
Assets\PreviewPackageAssets folder
- Mine: 1,000,219 Bytes
- Yours: 979,375 Bytes
Your assets will save 20,844 Bytes as a maximum when people use the extracted NanaZip Preview package. It seems less attractive.

Oh, I forgot to say that the original assets are pixel-by-pixel tweaked via the icon designer for people see icons clearly. So, they're special ones.

Add you can guess I recompressed all 8MB of png images. I don't know which you do and which you don't use. It's not written anywhere, so I supposed they're all used.
So I, not anyone else, don't know, which of these 8MB are real resources and which are just 'original'.

Guess I know that already.
I optimized deflate steam only, so they are, essentially the same.
As already said, you can use it or not. It's your choice.
