There was comment, I'm fairly sure of it.

Durned if I can find the thread though...

Oh, and the bullet is no long on the Search page either.

Feel free to use it if you wish. (it should be oblivious to any underlying color.)

Cheers!
Thanks David. Seems like we got into this discussion several months back when I tried it and gave up. As I recall, there was ghosting on the edges because of anti-aliasing...then if I got rid of all of the "bad" edging, it looked a bit jagged (as seen in the one you did for me).

So, I had a choice of which I'd rather live with. I decided looking the way I wanted it to 50% of the time (and not being too bad the remaining part of the time) was better than looking at "jaggies" all the time. (I think Abraham Lincoln said that ).

Why live with 50% when 99% is available?

Well, that's only slightly jaggy. How'd you get it so close to being smooth?

Yes, the slight jagginess now wins the "race". Thanks, David!

PS: Also, looking at the new color scheme, I think my "Trithian Revenge" looks better with it.

No, I didn't. Actually, I was "wrestling" with the profile stuff. When you add an email reference in your profile, it converts it to HTML tag...then, if you edit again, the HTML tag gets "tossed" for some reason. SO, I was having other fun and didn't notice.

Thanks mucho again!
