      I've managed to save a SVG file on inkscape, but it can't have any raster image ou opacity effects, but now i have a logo.ong with 60kb and a logo.svg with 500KB.

        @lipebello ES does not support SVG transparency levels or blurring as far as I know.
        It does support gradients. Looking at your screenshots there should be no reason to have raster parts in your System logos; they can be made with vectors; I see no particular complexity that justifies so big svg files as you're mentioning.
        Can you post just the png of one of your logos ?

          @UDb23 - Sure. The first is the old logo, with shadows and a rasterized halftone on it. Second is the new version with no raster at all, but the halftone pattern is in color burn opacity.

            @lipebello Are the vector haltone dots a single "entity" ? If you can combine them in Inkscape you could apply a vertical gradient from dot color (top) to the letters internal color (bottom). In that way it should give similar result as opacity levels .

                @FlyingTomahawk Only problem with SVGs is that they're going to push the Pi beyond it's memory limit. There is a fix coming for EmulationStation soon that will load wallpapers dynamically, remedying this problem, but it's not here yet.

                So don't be afraid of PNG. You don't have to have a single SVG in your entire theme for it to run just fine.

                  @Rookervik What would dynamic wallpapers bring to the table?

                        I think it basically comes down to being able to use large images for many systems without the theme breaking. It think it required a major change to how ES displays each system.

                                    @lipebello I like it a lot. The lines behind the box art look great.

                                    I think I like the font you used for the Logo on the System View more than this one though.

                                          I'm comming a little after the war ^^ but 80Ko for a png logo is "huge"...

                                          Did you try some "compressor" ?

                                          I recommand you optipng or pngquant... your png logo will be near the same size as svg ;)

                                          (Your Theme is great ^^ do you think of create a MIX template with UXS ? maybe you can give a comics style to the media you show in the detail vue with some more media (like you did on the system view, some cut between the cover and a screenshot for exemple... If you want I can give it a try ;) )
