Better transparent images

Some of the images in JDownloads have white borders and look very bad on dark themes. I've replaced some of these - they'll still look the same on white themes, but have better transparency:

I've also made a slight redesign of the rating stars for my dark theme - they still look fairly good on a white background:

Would be a nice addition for a future release :)

Hi
I do not think this is a bug!  As you indicate it is an improveement request.  I agree it would be better if they had a transparent background. Obviously they have to be png or gif files to support transparency.

Hi
I have checked out some of the 'file' images.  The majority of the background is transparent but the very edge of the picture tends to be 'blurred' by one pixel width.  I have fixed this on two examples which are attached.  It is quite time consuming!  Please let me know if these are OK.

The links I have posted are already fixed, I removed the white border in them ;) No need to do it again. :D

Or did you mean, that my altered images are still not perfect enough?  ;D

Hi
I did not know you had corrected the edges!  So I did some for future use.  Having looked at what you have done (I looked at zip.png) I have much the same!! ;D
Attached is a zip file of those I have done.  Maybe if you do some more you could send them.
