::::Hmmm, just noticed that the renderer is up to its usual tricks again. Tried to fix the offsets (white 'drop shadows'), but no luck, they have a consistent offset with the rest of the image. I'm stuck. MissMJ? [[User:Dhatfield|Dhatfield]] ([[User talk:Dhatfield|talk]]) 23:17, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

'''Article(s):''' All star stubs.

'''Request:''' Can someone create a simple star svg to put here? Thank you. [[User:XcepticZP|XcepticZP]] ([[User talk:XcepticZP|talk]]) 09:14, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

:How's this?--[[User:HereToHelp|HereToHelp]] ^{([[User talk:HereToHelp|''talk to me'']])} 13:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

::Sorry but I don't see how a blurry yellow circle looks like a star. Maybe it can be used for a representation of a sun, not a star. Even though they are the same thing. I uploaded a little sample I came up with. I think one of the talented svg people here can make it much better? [[User:XcepticZP|XcepticZP]] ([[User talk:XcepticZP|talk]]) 19:35, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

:::Well, what do you want done to it? Looks good to me. Unless... Since the current image is of a star constellation, you could use an icon of the Big Dipper or something? I could make that. [[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 19:57, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

::::Hmm, the constellation thing is a really good idea. Better than a single star. Let's see how it looks? But I'm definitely leaning towards your constellation idea. [[User:XcepticZP|XcepticZP]] ([[User talk:XcepticZP|talk]]) 21:19, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

:::::There. Though remember, when used as a stub icon it's going to be pretty tiny, so any minor changes made to it are unlikely to be visible. [[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 22:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

::::::It might be better to go for slightly more orange in the yellow to increase visibility at low resolutions. /[[:User:Lokal Profil|Lokal]][[Special:Contributions/Lokal Profil|_]][[:User talk:Lokal Profil|Profil]] 13:42, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

:::::::Better? [[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 20:18, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

::::::::Better. It's still quite hard to see at 35px though ([[Image:Ursa major icon.svg|35px]]), not sure which solution is best. /[[:User:Lokal Profil|Lokal]][[Special:Contributions/Lokal Profil|_]][[:User talk:Lokal Profil|Profil]] 11:58, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

:::::::::Minor comment: That's invisible on some monitors (EG. Mine). This may be an isolated case. [[Special:Contributions/68.39.174.238|68.39.174.238]] ([[User talk:68.39.174.238|talk]]) 21:48, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

:::::::::Wow, that IS terrible. I can barely see it. =S Perhaps this wasn't such a great idea... [[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 22:01, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

::::::::::What if you took just one star from that constellation and used that?--[[User:HereToHelp|HereToHelp]] ^{([[User talk:HereToHelp|''talk to me'']])} 22:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

:::::::::::That would be pretty lame. =P How about a ground reversal? (Test: [[Image:Ursa major icon 2.svg|35px]])[[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 22:16, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

::::::::::::Without comment on it as a SVG icon, I will say that can be easily seen on this monitor. [[Special:Contributions/68.39.174.238|68.39.174.238]] ([[User talk:68.39.174.238|talk]]) 16:04, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

:::::::::::::Honestly, what I think made that sample png image of a constellation look convincing is the fact that the stars were named. It's just how I'd expect to see a constellation. Also, the idea of putting a black background is also good. [[User:XcepticZP|XcepticZP]] ([[User talk:XcepticZP|talk]]) 20:11, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

::::::::::::::Naming the stars on an icon this teeny would be silly. And it's navy, not black. ;) [[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 02:15, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

::How about an eliptical background rather then a square one (sure I've seen such stub images elsewhere), maybe even one which fades towards the edges? Dark background works well. /[[:User:Lokal Profil|Lokal]][[Special:Contributions/Lokal Profil|_]][[:User talk:Lokal Profil|Profil]] 00:03, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

:::Hm. It looks ok, but the problem with a circular background rather than a rectangle is that the crop area needs to be larger to fit the background shape, making the image in the center (which is really the important part) even smaller when scaled down. =S Maybe a rounded rectangle?... [[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 02:15, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

:::P.S.: A fade would take up even more room, plus, the only way '''I''' could do it is with a radial blue to white gradient in Illustrator which A. removes the transparency (Illustrator doesn't support gradients to transparency, AFAIK), B. looks funky because the gradient is circular and the background is elliptical. [[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 02:18, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

::::I think it looks fine how it is.--[[User:HereToHelp|HereToHelp]] ^{([[User talk:HereToHelp|''talk to me'']])} 15:41, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

:::::Great work on this [[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]], I think it looks lovely. Icons are so hard! [[User:Dhatfield|Dhatfield]] ([[User talk:Dhatfield|talk]]) 23:05, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

::::::Looks nice. Let's just hope there isn't ever a constellation-stub =) /[[:User:Lokal Profil|Lokal]][[Special:Contributions/Lokal Profil|_]][[:User talk:Lokal Profil|Profil]] 00:53, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
