FOB

Looks like attachments to comments not OK. Hmm. I'll just overwrite the previous attachment.

The attached modified favicon-sh.txt will accept a --prescaled argument that causes it to use pre-built scaled images produced by, [u]for example[/u], Cairo.

I've updated the logo and favicon on the website: I think I'm done for now. Thanks to Keith for the Cairo work!

(Oops. You can't edit a comment to attach to it . I'll submit another comment with the script I forgot. I also noticed I'm posting as 'admin'. Bad me.)

Uh, the PNM scaler used by favicon.sh does a really world-class ugly job making a tiny version of the new logo. Oh well. Keith has better bitmaps generated directly by Cairo: I'll install them RSN.

Here's the nickle code I used to generate the logo. It's nasty inside, but that's no different from a hand-drawn logo.

Well, linear gradients don't appear to work in the Cairo software PNG renderer. Sometimes.

Keith is using a radial gradient for the logo glasses until we can fix this.

Keithp actually posted the PNG for the new logo to his blog.
