<li><b>Icon selection backgrounds</b>—When an icon is selected, it's merged with a slightly larger selection icon, which you can change by specifying a new file with the <tt>selection_big</tt> and <tt>selection_small</tt> tokens in <tt>refind.conf</tt>.</li>
-<li><b>fonts</b>—rEFInd uses a 14-point monospaced serif font by default. If you don't like this font, you can change it to another monospaced font by using the <tt>font</tt> token in <tt>refind.conf</tt>; however, the font file is a simple PNG image of the font's characters, which limits rEFInd's font capabilities.</li>
+<li><b>fonts</b>—rEFInd uses a 14-point monospaced sans serif font by default. If you don't like this font, you can change it to another monospaced font by using the <tt>font</tt> token in <tt>refind.conf</tt>; however, the font file is a simple PNG image of the font's characters, which limits rEFInd's font capabilities.</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that in this example, the text immediately below the icons is white, whereas the hint text at the bottom of the screen is black. The text color is determined by the brightness of the background; rEFInd uses black text against light backgrounds and light text against dark backgrounds. This adjustment is done on a line-by-line basis, so it copes better with horizontal lines than with vertical lines.</p>
-<p>If you want to use a full-screen background but also include the rEFInd logo, you can merge the two in a graphics editor by including the <tt>refind_banner-alpha.png</tt> image from the <tt>banners</tt> subdirectory of the rEFInd package in your background.</p>
+<p>If you want to use a full-screen background but also include the rEFInd logo, you can merge the two in a graphics editor by including the <tt>refind_banner-alpha.png</tt> or <tt>refind-banner.svg</tt> image from the <tt>banners</tt> subdirectory of the rEFInd package in your background.</p>
<p>Beginning with rEFInd 0.7.8, it's possible to stretch or shrink any image to fill the screen. To do so, you should use the <tt>banner_scale</tt> option in <tt>refind.conf</tt>: Set it to <tt>noscale</tt> (the default) to use small banners as such or to crop larger images; or set it to <tt>fillscreen</tt> to adjust your banner's size to exactly fill the screen. This should be particularly handy for theme developers who want to use a full-screen background image, since you can now do this with just one image file.</p>
<h2>Icons</h2>
</a>
-<p class="sidebar">Prior to version 0.9.3, rEFInd's icons came from a variety of sources—mostly from the <a href="http://deviantdark.deviantart.com/art/Oxygen-Refit-70199755">Oxygen Refit</a> package, with OS icons from rEFIt and assorted other sources. If you prefer these icons to the new ones, you can pull them out of a rEFInd 0.9.2 package</p>

other sources. (The details are documented in the <tt>README</tt> file in
<li>You can create new icons, place them in a subdirectory of rEFInd's main directory, and tell the program to use the new icons by setting the <tt>icons_dir</tt> token in <tt>refind.conf</tt>. This will affect the appearance of the OS tags, the utility tags, and so on. The names of these icons should match those in the <tt>icons</tt> subdirectory (although you can substitute ICNS for PNG files, with a suitable filename change), and are fairly self-explanatory. The default size for OS tags is 128x128 pixels, tags for 2nd-row utilities are ordinarily 48x48 pixels, and drive-type badges are 32x32 pixels by default. If an icon is missing from the directory specified by <tt>icons_dir</tt>, rEFInd falls back to the icon from the standard <tt>icons</tt> subdirectory; thus, you can replace just a subset of the standard icons. rEFInd can use icons in either Apple's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Icon_Image">icon image (ICNS)</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics">Portable Network Graphics (PNG)</a> format. PNG files are easier to generate on most platforms. You can generate ICNS files in various Apple programs or by using the <a href="http://icns.sourceforge.net/">libicns</a> library (and in particular its <tt>png2icns</tt> program) in Linux.</li>
-<li>You can do as above, but place your new icons in the default <tt>icons</tt> subdirectory. This method is discouraged because using the <tt>install.sh</tt> script to upgrade rEFInd will replace your customized icons.</li>

<li>You can customize the appearance of an individual boot loader by placing an ICNS or PNG file in its directory with the same name as the boot loader but with a <tt>.icns</tt> or <tt>.png</tt> extension. For instance, if your boot loader program is <tt>elilo.efi</tt>, you can create a custom icon by naming it <tt>elilo.png</tt>.</li>
