What font did you use?

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

fmtowns is ready for a PR. (when I can)
Do you like it too ?

Btw, I used a vector .svg .

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
