Another beg: anyone know about image editing?
Specifically, I'm unhappy with my favicon on gwern.net.
The old favicon was based on running http://www.gwern.net/images/logo-nobg-big.png through one of the many favicon-generator sites around, but it had the problem you can see if you click on that link and look at the shrunken tab icon (at least in Firefox): it doesn't show up well against the background and the lines making up the G are thin and ugly and jagged.
So I resorted to shrinking instead a version with a white background: http://www.gwern.net/images/logo-whitebg.png Which leads to the current favicon. But I'm not really happy with the white block icon either.
Is there any way to 'thicken' the G strokes and make it show up nicely against the user's usual background like the LW favicon does?
Maybe that is more to your liking -> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3943312/gwern-small.png I just cropped and rescaled it in gimp.
Took me a while to find a favicon generating site which didn't mangle that PNG horribly, but the result seems nice. I don't understand why the solution was so simple, but I'm happy anyway!
