Please fix rolleyes.gif

[minibois]

 < see what I am talking about?!

If you're not.. This is either fixed at this point, or you're at light mode, or you're not just looking hard enough!

 

My issue is with the white pixels around the edges.

To show this a little bit easier, here is one of the frames blown up (with no interpolation) to illustrate my point.

Left half is on a transparent background (so whatever theme you're using) and the other half on a dark background, to simulate dark theme:

Do you see what I mean now?!?!

 

So anyways, instead of just complaining, I just fixed it.

 

Blown up, for comparison:

 

Ain't that just a bit better?!

 

If I got a bit of free time this weekend, I might look into proper upscaling to get this image to 2019 2020 standards too. It's now at 20x20 (while most other forum emotes are at 80x80)

 

This is one of my favorite emotes on this forum and it deserves better.

I'm already grateful they didn't kill the original emoticons on the update that brought the new emojis... just keeping them alive is good enough to me as they are far better  than the new ones but if there's anyway to fix it then it's also very appreciated.

Fuck no, turning a circle into an octagon is not better. Atleast do it properly.

Better?

As I said though, I would like to improve the quality more, by upscaling it/remaking it.

Oh I see, more anti-aliasing. That is not something I personally noticed.. But you be the judge of that!

 

(P.S. these are two different gifs. In one I adjusted the shape of the circle, the other is with the anti-aliased example you provided).

still not enough, maybe you should switch back to light mode and see what it looks like.

Oh damn... Yeah I'm on dark theme where it looks alright.. But there is clearly something funky going on at light theme.

Welp, guess I will edit it this weekend!

Inb4 it's a metal emote, that looks up and down to the white borders on its own head.

I kinda thought it was ment to be a halo like some angle or something like "I'm happy" or whatever, especially with the smile lol

[amdorintel]

isnt there something "better" to compain about then some white in an emojicon in dark view?

 

one could argue that its not even a "bug"

seriously where's the difference? they look exactly the same to me.

Dark theme says a bit different.


It's been an "issue" that's been present for much more than a decade. I'm going to assume that the set of emojis that IPB use are from some stock repository, as all IPB/IPB freeware forums (IPBFree, Invisionfree, PHPBB, vBulletin and Joomla being ones I have direct experience with) have all had the same "issue".

Hmm... I guess it could be a halo, but it isn't as obvious to me. Especially upscaled it doesn't feel like a Halo.

My understanding of the gif standard is that you can't have partial alpha values, so you have a choice between aliasing and a white border. As such, I don't think there's much that you can do that won't still look bad somewhere.

this.

 

Each pixel of a gif either needs to be fully transparent, or fully opaque. making it pretty much impossible to create animated emoticons with anti-aliasing look right on different backgrounds. 

 

So either dark themes users would have to put up with the white silliness,Light theme users would have to put up with black silliness, or create an emoticon with zero anti-aliasing, everything would need to be pixel perfect

[amdorintel]

how many users use dark theme vs light theme

Did you turn on RTX?

Nope,It's clear that DSR was enabled here because of the artifacts on the edges that make it look like an octagon.

[amdorintel]

its about friggin time

i actually ignored his comments but i can still see what he types when other people quote him. guess i'll check if it's possible to somehow disable that aswell.
