Hi Spirit, I would like to point your attention to the problem described in this thread: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F73075?thread=156692&post=1558025#p1558025 Of course, it's not really important, in my Entry I just referred to one of the marvellous pics just to find out that it's totally different in alabaster .

Hi Jeremy
Graphics occassionally appear different on Goo & Alabaster due to clarity issues - colours which appears clear on white may not work on the dark blue...
Can I ask which pic you were referring to specifically so I can have a look?

Hi Spirit,
thanks for calling back that soon. The pic I'm referring to is blob275921. It shows the Delicate Arch in Goo, but some other graphic in Alabaster. I'd like to see the Delicate Arch in all skins, as I'm referring to that arch in my Entry. I couldn't think of a better picture, so I was really enthusiastic when I found out that a Delicate Arch blob already existed.
Thanks again
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy
Actually that picture was done a long time ago by an artist no longer working on h2g2. It must have slipped through our batch processing when we re-exported all the original images to anti-alias them for the (then) new Alabaster skin.
I've now rectified this and have requested that someone re-upload the graphic with the correctly anti-aliased illustration for Alabaster. Should be fixed asap.

Thank you very much, Spirit!
The Delicate Arch would be absolutely perfect for the Entry, I couldn't have thought of anything better!
