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

Btw, I used a vector .svg .

[DTEAM]

@folly
Very nice!!

[Folly]

@dteam

PR is done.

[jamrom2]

@dteam
All set. Do you need them with a white background as well?

[DTEAM]

@jamrom2
Yes please. I’ll try both. Thanks !!!! Those ones are perfect

@dteam

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

@folly
great job
merged

I did a last change for Dragon 32. I think It's better now

[Folly]

@dteam

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.

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

[DTEAM]

@dteam

Slowly, I'll rework imperfect images from the theme.

[Folly]

@dteam

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 ;-)

@jamrom2 @dteam

The dragon32 and dragon64 logos looking great now.
Nice job !

I forgot to say that your mascot / system files must be less than 280 KB. If they are bigger than that, you will have a white screen problem. Retropie does not seem to tolerate big size image files if you manage many systems (80 systems and more).

@dteam

Ok, so the mascot of fmtmarty has to be reduced a bit.
Will do that asap.

PR is done reduced to 250kb

reworked Game Gear for use... the colors of Green and Blue were off in many of the .svg files

Also made it grey and black for light and dark without outlines.

created a "new" Defender box for AdventureVision if anyone needs it. I didn't like the one that was out there and I used the other boxes as the baseline to create an improved version. I think this was a pack-in game so it didn't have an actual box.

The scene is taken from Extex's hand-held version, as was the original. I just didn't like how many times it said Defender on it and kept it cleaner looking.

Use for whatever you need it.
