Whoops! Looks like I forgot to update that when I added the "border" around the text. This will be fixed in the next release.

Well, you say that, but then I realize I didn't do much QC on that release. I'm creating new installer now but I have to wait for github to resolve some issues. :/

Version 0.2.3-beta has been released, fixing a couple of showstopping bugs I didn't catch when I built the installers for v0.2.2 .

It's okay, you're forgiven.

Vesion 0.3.0 has been released!

What's New

• You can now drag and drop images and fonts directly into the app.
• The app now has local font storage, so fonts added will automatically be available every time you open the app.
• Fonts manually copied into the local font folder will automatically import into the app if it's open.
• The baseline for center ice text can be adjusted to move the text closer to or farther away from the circle.
• Each of the center ice text elements can now be individually styled - different colors, different font sizes, different spacing, different baselines, etc. At this time, they still both have the same font.
• The font menu has been changed to be more consistent with the newer styles already in use by the OOTP Uniform Maker & Logo Maker.
• Bumped Electron version to 27.1.0.
• Certain events (loading, saving, etc.) can now be accessed via the app's menus.
• Converted all GET & POST calls to IPC & removed express dependency.

Great update! Thanks!

What size should the logos be to put them on the ice? The ones I am using are pixilated so thought I would ask.

Sorry for the stupid question, but how do I create the different files with different ice surface (the 0-3 thing)?

Those get generated automatically when you save a rink.

Thanks. I figured out how to do the center ice logo with no pixelation but the Philadelphia Flyers rink has my exact problem in the link you put in your reply. Center ice is fine but the smaller ads around it are pixelated. If anyone has used this and not gotten the pixelation, may I ask what size PNG you used?

Hmm sorry dude, hopefully someone with more expertise can chime in!

I guess when in doubt go bigger? I use the 300x300 logos and they seem to pixalate like you are saying. Using something bigger than that would be where I start? How big are the images you are using?

I am using 300x300. Guess I will go bigger as you suggest.

At full resolution the diameter of the center ice circle is approximately 400 pixels, and "ad" boxes 1 through 4 are roughly 260x120, and boxes 5 through 8 are roughly 90x250.

You'd definitely be best off starting with the highest resolution images you can get. The fabric.js library doesn't do a fantastic job scaling images, especially upscaling them

Downloaded and installed but I get this error message on startup. Tried uninstalling and then reinstalling, get the same thing. On a side note, I love this program. Makes making the rinks for my league so much easier, so thank you
