K.I.S.S Beutification Program

I hope your employer appreciates you properly.

Employers never seem to appreciate their employees properly. I take comfot once again from that sage for the ages - Homer Simpson.

As he was throwing something at Mr. Burns he yelled "And that's for expecting me to do the work for which I am paid!"

Employers never appreciate the mental alacrity Civ produces. Lousy boses. Oh, wait, I just remembered who I work for

Booti you're such a nut! I'm surprised you haven't been struck, with alacrity, by lightning today.

Misfit, if you get a chance could you pretty, er.. I mean make mine look better. If a " 'Slinger " can be added that would be great too. If you get it to work please send me the full layout so I can place it on my desktop.

[Own]

Ah, I knew I recognized your avatar from something, it's Outlaw Josie Wales. I love the movie.

@ Mistfit - In the Site Feedback thread it was suggested that it might help speed up the board to turn off our avatars until the number of simultaneous posters from the Civ 4 release quiets down. I've turned mine off, but only temporarily. I see that Own has done the same.

I'll be glad when things go back to normal, because I love my avatar.

 

[Pentium]

I didn't, but mine is gone too. TF must have disabled them already.

Edit: Oh, it's announced. Didn't see it. Since forums are so slow, I'll have time to add a train

 

[Own]

Just gotta show off my new avatar, that Lozzy Ozzy sized down (I bootlegged it off google).

why are you not using the transparent version?

 

[gmaharriet]

Nice avatar, Own, and good job with the transparency, Mistfit. How do you get rid of all the black???

 

[Mistfit]

Actually I did nothing to this one. I just was wondering if Own liked it better with the black background or the transparency.

You make a transparent avatar by saving the file as a .gif. Most programs allow you to choose what color you want to make transparent when saving it.
I typically choose the really bright and gaudy pink color because I rarely use it for anything else and I can see that color pretty well.

Basically by saving it that way it tells the computer that on that image where ever it see's that color to let the background show thru.

 

[Own]

Thanks Mistfit, looks much better. Will use it when we get the avatars back.

Slinger ~ I did forget about your request

I like your new one but I though I'd give you my spin on it.

I don't think it's big enough to use for a desktop but I thought I'd include the orginal That I used:

Avatar Size:_________The one you are using

_____________
