      @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 ;) )

                                            @screech actually 80Kb for a PNG logo is extremely small, pngs are raster and come in around 500kb to 1mb if around 1000px wide at 72dpi when set to 24bit with alpha transparency. If you are talking SVG which is vector based, then yes 80kb is a definitely on the heavy side.

                                            Also, this theme looks awesome!
