Interesting that it looks much blurrier than this version:

I wonder whether that is not 16x16?

TBH the last time I had any [brief] involvement with icons they were only 16x16, drawn in Paint, using the default colours. Using that method, the '1 pixel line, 1 pixel in' idea might make more sense :)

Now, from a quick read, the default is to create at 256x256, in 256 colours, then let the conversion software do the rest. Using this method, each size would need to be created then the line added with appropriate pixel size and spacing.

In that case, could you adjust the aspect ratio (ok you'll end up with more white top and bottom) so it doesn't look squished?

Edit: in a circle would eliminate some of that white.

You actually need about 4 different sizes for different browsers/os-s, but I'm damned of I can remember the different sizes after tonight's bottle of prosecco.

Right, i see... Yeah tested that this morning, it's not really working.

The issue is the shape being square and maintaining detail when you shrink things, it's trickier than you'd think. I guess that's why people have/use a Logo rather than an image. But the revtothelimit logo doesn't really suit a square shape due to length and RTTL seems to lose the plot a little too.

FZ09 forum has them in pairs on top of eachother, which works for that forum, but i don't think would work for RTTL.

I'm going to leave it and move on for now :)

It might be something that has to be manually edited in the html, or some specific files in a specific folder replaced. I'm slightly surprised it's not in the admin options tbh.

It's a file you replace yes, but only the 1 option
