::::The thumbnail of the second version shows a lighter shade of brown - almost peach (not brown at all!) but when I click through, I get a much darker version which makes it harder to see the individual points/stars. I would prefer if the image was lighter so we could make out the stars more easily. --[[User:Seans Potato Business|Seans]] '''[[User talk:Seans Potato Business|Potato Business]]''' 20:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::1The image is made to show the Ram of [[Aries (astrology)]], not the stars of [[Aries (constellation)]]. Most of the images for the astrological articles don't have stars at all, such as [[Libra (astrology)]]. 2Why the server here hasn't updated itself is a good question, but they seem to be working everywhere else.

'''Article(s):''' [[:Portal:United Kingdom]] and so on
'''Request:''' Any chance these maps can be SVGified (if necessary) and toned down per other wiki maps. I've seen them being used on a number of portals, for example the [[Portal:England|England Portal]], and their ugliness is bugging me! Many thanks, [[User:Seaserpent85|<font style="color:#488AC7">Sea</font><font style="color:#2B547E">serpent</font><sup>85</sup>]] 16:48, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
'''Graphist opinion:'''
*Toned down how? Muting the colors a bit? See any colors used on the maps above that you like? [[User:Kintetsubuffalo|Chris]] ([[User talk:Kintetsubuffalo|talk]]) 18:15, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
:Maybe grey in place of green, and a paler red/pink for the highlighted area... basically anything that's not as bright and gaudy as the current ones! [[User:Seaserpent85|<font style="color:#488AC7">Sea</font><font style="color:#2B547E">serpent</font><sup>85</sup>]] 19:15, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
I can't convert to svg. but I can color. How's this? The blue should match the blue color used in the [[:Portal:United Kingdom]]. [[User:Sagredo|<b><font color ="#009933">Sagredo</font></b>]]<sup>[[User talk:Sagredo|<font color ="#8FD35D">Discussione?</font>]]</sup> 21:33, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
:Thanks for the speedy reply! They look good, however they don't really stand out (ironic, I know, after saying they were too bright earlier)... could you change the grey to a much lighter shade? As they are mainly used at the size shown above, the ones for the Isle of Man and Cornwall are hardly visible. Thanks again, [[User:Seaserpent85|<font style="color:#488AC7">Sea</font><font style="color:#2B547E">serpent</font><sup>85</sup>]] 01:03, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
::How's the Isle of Man, Cornwall & Wales now? The space between Cornwall and the edge of the image limits the size of a pointer. [[User:Sagredo|<b><font color ="#009933">Sagredo</font></b>]]<sup>[[User talk:Sagredo|<font color ="#8FD35D">Discussione?</font>]]</sup> 03:21, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
:::That's brilliant, thanks for all you hard work! :) [[User:Seaserpent85|<font style="color:#488AC7">Sea</font><font style="color:#2B547E">serpent</font><sup>85</sup>]] 10:20, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
::::While it would be simplest just to replace the originals with these, and have them appear everywhere, it would certainly offend some. The Wales Portal and the Northern Ireland Portals use red and extensively and the images do match there. Seeing the color of the Flag of Wales, while I do understand, it is the time of year when one grows weary of red and green. Blue and gray would look much nicer in Scotland and England for sure. So, SeaSerpent, I suggest that you leave a note on each portal's talk page stating that these are available, and hopefully it will soon look a lot less like Christmas! <[[User:Sagredo|Sagredo]] ([[User talk:Sagredo|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sagredo|contribs]]) 05:03, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
