Unfortunately, this flag is wrong :) I'm from Trieste, and it's time to update it to the correct version.
it actually has WRONG colours! This is the actual flag waving in Trieste http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexsap/5848265439/ and you can clearly see the symbol in it is WHITE. I have created years ago the 100% correct SVG version, and I can upload it anytime.
How can it be updated, then?
(I'm fairly new to wikipedia)
I also SVGed the coat of arms (this one is unfortunately wrong, too!), which is this one http://www.languagesmeetsport.eu/images/common/logo_comune_ts.jpg confirmed at the bottom of the pace of the city council here http://www.retecivica.trieste.it and I'm willing to give this to wikipedia, too; I just don't know how to update the existing files.

'''Articles:'''Everything that uses {{tl|Current}} and related templates.
'''Request:''' I was wondering if some artist can tweak this design a little. I would like the smoothness of the first icon with the color scheme of the second. The current icon doesn't scale well (The outline's too heavy and it's a little fuzzy).
Example of it in use:
{{ambox
| type = notice
| image = [[Image:Gnome globe current event.svg|42px]]
| text = '''This {{{1|article}}} documents a [[Portal:Current events|current {{#if:{{{2|}}}|{{{2}}}|event}}]].''' <br> <small>Information may change rapidly as the event progresses.</small>
}}
Having a red clock is requested but the globe colors are up to the artist. (Like blue and green, blue and white, or light blue and green.) So is the shadows/lightning. I would like more detail with the land area on the globe (like the first has), but this isn't necessary. Whatever looks the best. Matching other icons used on templates would be a big plus, though.
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Personally, I don't think sports and videogames need their own "current event" icon, but since they are being used, maybe they can be updated as well so they all match.
Thank you. -- [[User:Rocket000|Rocket000]] 00:02, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

::The first icon is included just as an example of style. I think it looks great, however the second icon (and possibly the 3rd and 4th) is what I'm asking to be improved upon (especially at 42px).

Hmm. I had a go at the first one on the list. It works in inkscape, and Mozilla interprets it fine, but Mediawiki doesn't understand the SVG "blur" effect, so the globe and the clock vanished.

They're all nice, I'm not sure which one I like more yet, but do think you can make the clock less pixely? That was my main consern. Here's the original Nuvola clock: [[Image:Stock alarm.svg|25px]] and here's another original with a smaller clock: [[Image:Nuvola apps karm.png|40px]]. I'm not sure if it's possible, but can you use the boarder off one of these and make it red with the current clock face? See the first icon I posted - that's the smoothness I would like to see. Maybe I'm just being picky, so if this is too much work, then it's ok, the ones we have will do. Thanks. [[User:Rocket000|Rocket000]] 05:07, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
I have resized the clock you offered just above, and as you can see, it goes slightly pixely as well, when ever something is as small as that, there is so little room that's the effect it has. So if we were to convert the blue one to SVG, it would still give the same effect. <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"> > [[User:Rugby471|Rugby471]] <sup>[[User_talk:Rugby471|talk]]</sup></span> <span style="font-size: 17pt;">⚔</span> 09:04, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
:I see what you mean. I zoomed in on the original and around 20x it stops looking pixely, ''and'' it's an SVG, so I guess there's nothing you can do about it, ecept for making a whole new SVG based on the 22px PNG icon, which I didn't even bother uploading because it's not worth it. I guess the clock is ok as it is. Thanks for your help! Cheers, [[User:Rocket000|Rocket000]] 04:16, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

:I always thought a subtle shadow makes it look more realistic, but no problems. Glad you like it!! There isn't a whole lot I can do about the contrast on the bottom left.

'''Request:''' Hi, could you produce a simplified version of this map please. It can just be an outline of France and the UK with the rough route and places served on it. At the moment the image is subject to copyright laws. Your improvement would:
*(a) - Remove this problem
*(b) - Make the image easier to understand

'''Graphist opinion:'''
Unfortunately, as far as I know (which isn't a whole lot), in order to correct your text problems that arise in the preview of the above svg image, you'll have to convert the text to paths/outlines in order for them to stay in position. The downside to this is that the file size will approximately triple its original size. For instance, converting all of the text in the above .svg file will balloon the file size to 113 kb. If however, you use a different font (like Arial, something very basic without many extra curves/paths), file size can be reduced to around 90 kb. Here's some more info on text to paths: [[Wikipedia_talk:Graphic_Lab/Images_to_improve#Text to path]]. -- [[User:Kaboom88|Kaboom88]] 04:58, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Stop !! Don't convert them to paths, I recently discovered a way to embed the font face (eg Arial, Times New Roman) in the SVG file. One of the problems you have is that in Inkscape the font you choose doesn't show up the same on MediaWiki, however if you follow the steps below, they will look exactly the same in both instances.
Once you have created your SVG, make sure all text objects are text and not flowed text (to convert them, go to the '''Text''' menu and select '''Convert to text'''). Then, go to the '''Edit''' Menu and select '''XML Editor'''.
Navigate in the pane on the left to your text objects (they will be called '''<nowiki><svg:text id="</nowiki>''something''<nowiki>"></nowiki>''') and do the following for each text object :
'''1)''' Click on the text object in the left pane
'''2)''' Some attributes should now appear in the right pane, click on the '''style''' attribute
'''3)''' You can now edit the attribute in the right hand bottom corner, add to the end of the arguments (add to the box at the very bottom with things in like '''font-size:52pt''')
<code> ;font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans </code>
(with the semicolon in front)
'''4)''' Once you have done this, remember to click the '''Set''' button, otherwise it won't save the changes
Do this for every one and save your file and now (if Media Wiki has that font installed) it should display properly
Phew !

::This was one of my older ones: I don't think I quite did it before MediaWiki started supporting SVG, but I'm sure I did it before I was experienced enough with Inkscape and MediaWiki to get them render right, so what I did back then was upload the PNG here and put the original SVG on my own website, linking to it from the image description. Anyway, I just cleaned up the SVG original, uploaded it to Commons as [[:Image:Aquarium Nitrogen Cycle.svg]] and marked the PNG as superseded. Compared to your version, it does look rather dark, though... I think I'll see if I can tweak the colors a little later. —[[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] <small>([[User talk:Ilmari Karonen|talk]])</small> 12:28, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
:::I tried embedding the fonts as well (though it's a bit different with Illustrator), but it increased the file size as well. I think what Shandris did was the best in-between solution, that is, just convert the formulas to paths, and leave the rest as text. If you do that with [[:Image:Aquarium Nitrogen Cycle.svg]}, the file size jumped to around 30 kb, and as you can tell, with [[:Image:Aquarium Nitrogen CycleZP.svg]], the file size jumped to around 60 kb. That being said, I think that if you were concerned about file size, there are other things with the image that you could do to fix that as well. -- [[User:Kaboom88|Kaboom88]] 00:10, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
I use Illustrator. I still don't get the font problem. Is it because the svg support only includes basic fonts? So if I use plain ones like Times New Roman and Arial, it should be fine, right? [[User:XcepticZP|XcepticZP]] 14:04, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
I also use basic fonts, but in Inkscape (the editor most people around here use) it doesn't seem to work like that. <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"> > [[User:Rugby471|Rugby471]] <sup>[[User_talk:Rugby471|talk]]</sup></span> <span style="font-size: 17pt;">⚔</span> 18:07, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
:Sigh, at least if we knew what the actual problem was? That way, we'd at least know how to avoid it. Has anyone figured it out yet? Thanks for the input, you guys :) [[User:XcepticZP|XcepticZP]] 18:21, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
