@dteam Do you have a Dragon 64 logo?
@jamrom2 Unfortunately, the outline of the Dragon 64 logo is not perfect on a dark background. Are you able to improve it?
The real one is like this:
Note: finally, I used the last one for the theme -
@dteam sure. I'll look at it. What font did you use? Or is it pulled from a graphic?
-
@folly yes. Looks like we can have both! Lol.

For dragon , it's from an image. You can use WhatTheFont! webside to found a font on a picture
Seems to be Helvetica-Black or similar (maybe not for "R")

I am trying to do the fmtowns theme.
But indeed the outlines are always an issue.Hoping to find a fast way of cutting out the desired things so you won't see a white rough edge.
I am now trying the scissors option in gimp to cut out the computer with a smooth edge. -
@folly
This one has no white edge -

@folly
Very nice!! -
PR is done.
-
@dteam
All set. Do you need them with a white background as well?
-
@jamrom2
Yes please. I’ll try both. Thanks !!!! Those ones are perfect -
Created one for Electron (PR is done) :
I have found a great way to make the images and soften the edges quite fast in gimp :
- cut out the desired part out of the picture with => scissors
(once selected all around you can fine-tune the edge by dragging,
when you are happy then just click in the middle and it's selected) - create a new file and select transparency as background in advanced
- create a new layer and copy and paste the desired file into the new file
- select the magic tool and select feather edges (set radius on 7 and threshhold on 30) then select the transparent part after selecting press delete, then you will see the edges get a bit transparent and smooth
(magic, gone are the raw white edges) - save it as a .png
- cut out the desired part out of the picture with => scissors

@folly
great job
mergedI did a last change for Dragon 32. I think It's better now
-
Thanks !
Works far better and faster now with my new method described in the earlier post.
The logo is an svg with a black doubled shadow created with inkscape.

@dteam
Thanks !
Works far better and faster now with my new method described in the earlier post.I'll try that for Dragon 64 system.png and other images with white contours.
For svg, sometime it works sometime not, depending the number of colors and details
-
Slowly, I'll rework imperfect images from the theme.
-
Yes SVG's are a pain in the butt sometimes, I agree.
We have to make miles for that in order to know how it works ;-) -
