Ditto. Where did you find that? There isn't a vector version of this, is there?

I'm asking because that would allow to remove the shadow under the C
without impacting the edge of the C which has a bit of a fade-out on
it.  I realised that I'd used the 24bpp version of cygicons-0.dll,9,
which doesn't have the shadow, but only because it doesn't have an
alpha channel.

Here's what I did, in Paint.net. I very much suspect there are better ways.

- Select the green arrow with the rectangular select tool.
- Invert the selection, thereby selecting everything but the green arrow.
- Go to Adjustments->Hue/Saturation: Turn the hue to -60 (yellow) and
the saturation to 200 (maximum). OK.
- Adjustments->Black and White.

(The point of turning it bright yellow before the Black and White step
is to make the resulting grey as light as possible.)
