I can't use a vector logo in a skin??

Post by caroline »

Why won't Flare let me insert my client's logo in .eps format in the skin for their help file? Hitting "Ctrl+" just twice to enlarge text when I view a build makes the logo look fuzzy as a jpg file. No one else has an issue with this? I can't find a single word about it anywhere here or in the Flare help. Maybe I'm missing something obvious?

I don't think .eps files work on the web, so it might be that Flare is converting it to a jpg or gif behind the scenes. Can you save the eps as an svg (scalable vector graphic) file and try that?

We are using SVG files for proper scaling, but these can't be used directly. Instead, I used a placeholder for the image in the skin and then overrode the image in the CSS with the correct SVG file. I did submit a request for enhancement to allow the use of vector images, so it probably wouldn't hurt to have more people do the same.

Thanks, both of you. I'll see if I can figure out how to do that with an SVG. And I will make that enhancement request for sure. It's surprising to me that there aren't lots of people clamoring for this.
