So if you do "convert -density 1000 BBC\ One.svg BBC\ One.png" the image is scaled smoothly to 375x277. André ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Excellent! Thank you for writing this script. I'll test them tonight with anthra. One question, did ImageMagick work successfully for you when resizing the svg images?

Thank you very much for those logos. Currently I am using the anthra-HD skin and wanted your logos to blend in. Therefore I wrote a little skript to create them. All that is required is "convert" from the ImageMagick package and of course "git" to check out the logos. Simply download the tgz from here: https://ilpss8.dyndns.org/~andrew/convert-to-liquid-logo.tgz Unpack the archive into your working directory and run: convert-images/convert-to-liquid-logo.sh The logos can then be found inside the directory liquid-logos4anthra_HD.

It is trivial to convert them to PNG or XPM, but the different skins and interfaces all seem to have different requirements in terms of pixel size and aspect ratio (e.g., 1:1 square crop vs free-form). I'll be looking into it shortly. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

How can we do this? It would be great to convert them so that we can now use them in VDR. Thanks ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
