Simplify

{{Editprotected}} I simplified this flag but saw it's protected from reuploading.

@Admins: if you like the changes I've made, please change the code.

Changes:

• better indentation, more legible
• <use> tags for all the stars (including those at top and bottom)
• XML attribute fill instead of the corresponding CSS attribute.

The resulting code is below:

It can get even smaller than that. I once made this 533-byte code, but couldn't upload it either:

It's also possible with exact stars (781 bytes):

•  Done, I uploaded the 533 bytes version. odder (talk) 19:52, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

The file, the colours...

We have official sources but still keep using some random colours... Aren't we trying to represent real flags? https://www.parlament.ba/Content/Read/233?title=OBosniIHercegovini --Koreanovsky (talk) 19:25, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

I have just had a look at the two files, and the current version of the flag appears to be using the following colours:

 

(#002395) for "blue" and

 

(#fecb00) for "gold".

while the official flag linked to by @Koreanovsky above uses the following colours:

 

(#1f4fa2) for "blue" and

 

(#fcd213) for "gold".

The difference between the colours is pretty stark, and I think we should favour the official version by default. However due to edit warring in the past I would rather other people commented on this possible change before I update the flag. Thanks, everyone, odder (talk) 10:47, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

I agree to update colors. These are way off. --5.43.74.95 18:50, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Apparently the colors are supposed to be the same as those of the EU's flag. See here. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 23:44, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

I've uploaded a version with the EU flag's colors, here. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 20:32, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Hollow stars and extra star halves

Stars are hollow when displayed in other formats such as .cdr after exporting from Illustrator as .eps. Those little parts inside should be united with surrounding to have full stars.

Also, there are halves of the upper and bottom starts which should be deleted (e.g. fix: divide upper and bottom star with one horizontal line and delete unnecessary parts). --5.43.74.95 18:50, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
