      Converting a PNG to SVG won't work always.
      I tried to convert various size PNG images to SVG by simply using the "save as" feature in Illustrator but that will give you a 64bit thing that won't work on ES, at least it didn't for me.
      You can use PNGs but that depends on the PNG size and theme you are using. Using a theme that was build on 1080p or 720p will not give you satisfying results.

      That is why I hope we can get a tutorial.

                        @UDb23 really thanks, but I downloaded the megaman.svg and it seems to be all transparent:

                        Downloaded one more time to confirm, same result.

                            @lilbud Actually it's not an image editor, it's the default image viewer of Linux Mint Cinnamon: Xviewer.

                            @UDb23 I managed to put a transparent background on that png version and, you're right, it looks better on dark backgrounds. In basic/detailed view of Carbon, it is really neat. But in the system view, you see an "excess of brightness":

                            0_1497059560317_megaman-ES-system.png

                            But looks cool in the basic/detailed view:

                              I could try using a less bright shade of white. What do you think ?

                              Is there a way to use 2 different svg files for "system" and "detailed" view ?

                                    Yes.

                                    @meleu can you please provide more info on this ?
                                    specific svg file names to be used or ES configuration ?

                                      We could use this kind of logo for System view. Should look better.

                                        ES configuration. The theme.xml file explicitly specifies the image for each view. But usually theme makers use the same image for all views.

                                        As an example you can see this theme.xml for gameboy on Carbon theme:

                                        https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-carbon/blob/master/gb/theme.xml
