Emulationstation splash.svg how is it created?

Here I put an image of how it looks on both raspberrypi

I have tried the file that I send you through uptobox that at least it looks dark, or in black and white, but you can see it, but not even that for mewith which I do not get anything clear, if you use Inkscape, when saving as svg what characteristics do you mark to save

I've used the instructions from this page to import the PNG file (with colors) and create a SVG from it.

Thanks I'll read it because you're lost -
Thank you, I have solved it, I have reinstalled emulationstation and it has been solved, I had to do it to both raspberrypi, by the way, it is a pity that I lose a lot of colors ....

Thank you, one goes to each raspberrypi but I would like to know what parameters should be touched or some guide that explains more things to get to this, because the guide that I read limited me to what they said and blurs the colors...

Most online convertors drop all the colors, like you found.
Inkscape and a few other sites simply embed the PNG into the SVG file as base64 data, so the ES software can't read it. I think this is the error that you were getting.
The SVG needs to be vector data and not embedded PNG data.
The link that @mitu used with the instructions to use Inkscape to import the PNG file (with colors) and create a SVG from it seemed to work OK for simple PNG images, but i couldn't get good results following those instructions for your PNG image.
I stumbled upon this site and it converted it to vector data, and that is the test1 results, and I think that test1.svg is untouched by me.
then I cleaned it up a little (mainly changing the word coloring) to get to test2 results. I forget if I used GIMP or Inkscape for that.
Neither are perfect, but I think they are decent for the little time I spent on them.

One note that others should be made aware of...
If your ES splash.SVG is a large file (like the test1 and test2 samples), then the ES loading progress takes a much longer time than normal.
If you are OK with that, then larger SVG files would be OK.
If you want a speedy ES launching process, then use smaller SVG for the ES splash.

Great thanks for the help, I'll get to it
