[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SK CRISIS PNG's are the way to go for images with a transparent background, unlike GIFs where the image would be outlined with jaggy white pixels, PNG's make anti-aliasing possible between the image and whatever the background might be.[/quote]Not all browsers support PNG transparency. Though I agree with you, some of my avatars are coming out quite badly when I'm trying to make then transparent GIFs. Some can be easily fixed with some cropping, but others not so much.

As for the user skins, I guess it would be possible, unless they're just keeping to JPEG images like they're using now. Ask stosh.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] tehviruss Not all browsers support PNG transparency. Though I agree with you, some of my avatars are coming out quite badly when I'm trying to make then transparent GIFs. Some can be easily fixed with some t-blam!-, but others not so much.[/quote]Whoever isn't keeping up with the rest of us with modern internet broswers [i]deserves[/i] not being able to enjoy the benefits of the PNG format. I'm kidding, but another solution to your problem is just making the background of your image the same gunmetal black color as the background of forum posts, which is 1b1d1f And even though that black background will show up in user pages, which is really the only place you can really tell if an image has a transparent background or not, it still beats having to deal with jaggy white pixels. How often does Bungie.net have a huge forum update where the background color of posts changes?

As you said I doubt the color would change, but what if in the distant future it does. If the avatars are kept, they could look weird. [Edited on 03.24.2008 2:14 PM PDT]

[b]odmichael [/b] I like the [url=http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y34/odmichael/avatar8.jpg?t= 1206392274]Saved Film[/url] one... really nice ! As far as ninjas avatars... you shouldn't think they will allow those similar to theirs as they were given / accepted to them as "unique" avatars. That goes the same for anyone else with a custom avatar (presently speaking of course). That's like taking You for example... You have the "Webcam MVP" title... how would you feel if all of a suddon we all had the option to make ourself a "Webcam MVP" !? I would say the same applyes to current "custom avatars".

I just thought I would include it anyway since the idea is still out there. However, I guess Foman should be the only one with an avatar like that. He truly deserves it.

Maybe I can actually make something this time. Is there a role like "Theme Master" for avatars and skins? Any limit to how many we can submit? [Edited on 03.24.2008 5:00 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Obi Wan Stevobi [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Firebird347 Photoshop is not required. I use [url=http://www.getpaint.net/]Paint.net[/url] and it works just fine for creating images, and I know people who use [url=http://www.gimp.org/]GIMP[/url]. They aren't quite as good as photoshop but they are free, so who cares. (GIMP is essentially Free photoshop and Paint.net is a better paint.) [/quote] Paint.net is my friend. Awesome for a freeware program.[/quote] You can download free trial versions of Paint Shop Pro at [url]http://www.oldversion.com/[/url]. I'm not advertising, just saying that I hate running out of my 30 day trial, so I can just download an older version for free.

Whew, I made a ton of these. Are we supposed to send the files attached to the email or an email with links? I'm guessing attaching a file, but I'd like to be sure.
