It looks slightly different:
|
|
Why to keep the PNG logo then? |
|
Did you mean to ask "why not keep the PNG logo"? Because it looks blurry on high-DPI screens. |
|
It was requested here and a few other times, I think: http://forum.dlang.org/post/qeiyyxfiajmlbkuxxbpu@forum.dlang.org |
No, I meant why not deleting the png file? |
|
Yeah, because it's hotlinked in a few places. For example our README files do that, but I bet there's more than that. |
|
What are the advantages of svg over png? I figure it's scalable, but we're not taking advantage of that, right? |
Specifically: phones released in the past decade, high-DPI displays such as all the latest Macbooks, etc. |
|
@CyberShadow got relevant screenshots? |
|
Sure I can make some. |
|
Also I recall there was that 6% of folks who won't see svgs? |
|
No, that figure was off - it was based on global stats. For forum.dlang.org visitors (I have no dlang.org data) it's 0.3%, not 6%. |
|
mmmkay.. @WalterBright ? |
|
If 0.3% is not acceptable, we can try to fall back to the old image (or progressively enhance to SVG), but all fallback methods I've seen were ugly hacks... |
|
If the 0.3% can't see it, what do they see instead? Is the rest of the page still good? |
Blank space, or a "broken image" placeholder.
Yes. |
|
Then I'm fine with it. |

@CyberShadow loud and clear thanks |
PNG logo is not removed, as various other sites, including *.dlang.org, hotlink (embed) it.
I don't have stats for dlang.org, but for forum.dlang.org, 99.7% of visitors use SVG-capable user agents.
