The base map (File:Helsinki districts.svg) was updated on August 17, 2010 and I would like to overwrite the current file with a file that uses the new base map.

The color is a primary

which looks greenish on screens. Flags are usually given a slightly more golden shade (example File:Bandera_de_Espa%C3%B1a.svg, File:Flag_of_Germany.svg). I intend to exactly copy the yellow used on related files File:Coat_of_Arms_of_the_Diocese_of_St_Davids.svg, File:Flag_of_the_Diocese_of_St_Davids.svg

Just so I understand your meaning, you mean technical fixes to the svg? Abzeronow (talk) 22:38, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, I mean the same design and look as the png version. That’s the correct one.

The icon doesn't look right after the update. Cookai🍪 _(💬talk) 08:25, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I need more information. "doesn't look right" is subjective and doesn't tell me which modifications you want to make. Abzeronow (talk) 16:18, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The icon is different from File:OOjs_UI_icon_unBlock-ltr.svg and File:OOjs UI icon unBlock-ltr-invert.svg, but it shouldn't be. Cookai🍪 _(💬talk) 17:06, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So if I understand you right, it should have the center bar go all the way rather than half? Abzeronow (talk) 17:12, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. In OOUI_icons, you can see the progressive style only changes the color. Cookai🍪 _(💬talk) 17:17, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

but the unBlock one is weirdly different from the others. Cookai🍪 _(💬talk) 17:21, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Flag of Marche.svg Doesn't have "REGIONE MARCHE" written, and the green is a little different.

I have made a version with Hindi translations added, where the labels are based on File:Anvil-isometric-filled-labeled-hi.svg and File:Finite state machine example with comments in hi.svg.

I simply changed the colors of the rail lines on this map to properly correspond with their official map colors. This helps readers intuitively tell which line is which when reading this map. The colors currently used are completely random and do not properly correspond to the lines. --OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 02:35, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
