Great, thanks. To #3, it's really just a matter of cleaning up the edge pixels then, using an alpha channel to make it blend with any background. I don't think SVG format is critical. It's convenient, but it's better suited to vector drawings. There would be quality loss to convert this to vector format. -- John Foerch _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
