Shining star

Without a contour, we cannot actually speak of a shining star, but of a sixteen-pointed star with alternating longer and shorter points (points / rays). This would only happen if the tincture of the figure and the "shine" were different and not identical.

In other words, "shining" is the contoured shape of a general figure (in our case an eight-pointed Šternberk star) and "behind it (from it)" a shine (rays) stands out. If the tincture of the figure and the shine are different, the (black) contour does not play such a role, but if it is identical (here gold (yellow)), then yes.

Both in the shield and on the flag, the outline of the star must be made so that there is an unbroken contour line of the eight-pointed star and shorter (logically already contoured) rays of shine that stand out among the longer rays.

The question arises: must it be black? How about blue, the same color as the blue leaf, so that the outline (shape, contour) of the rays would merge with the blue background for most of its length?)

This is a very "clean" solution. Not only vexillologically, but also heraldically from the early days, when the contours were not used at all and only the different areas of the tinctures were used. It's completely clean on the flag (no unnecessary black). All it takes are "vees" in the places of the "collision" of the rays of the Šternberk star and the (shining) rays. The star shines. This is the purpose and its uniqueness among the "simple" eight-pointed stars in many coats of arms.--Pavel Fric (talk) 18:50, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
