Fair enough. Compared to "mine" though it looks a bit rougher around the edges when used in a mintty window frame with dark background. In particular, some of the corner pixels stick out and the wedge has more pronounced stepping. (See attached pic.) I wonder whether this is due to resizing algorithm. Can you be bothered to try different scaling algorithms, or send me the orignal so I can have a go with Paint.net (which says it uses "supersampling")?
