Remember when saving as a gif, to check the box that says "Transparency"

Yep I've done all that, but I only checked it with Paint Sho Pro 6, which shows a white background whether transparent or white and Trillian as a buddy icon but have learned that trillian has some problems with transparancies so it might have actually worked, oh well.

Hmm, I was wondering if it were possible to change the background for my Avatar from the Sunset/Sunrise dealie to something a little . . . flashier . . .

First, I would like to have the Leaf and Peanut outlined in black, please.

For the background, I want something flashy, something neon, maybe like neon colours in kind of a random arrangement, pocka dots, something besides the sunset. I know what I am looking for, I just can't explain it. Something like neon colours striped, but squiggly stripes, if that makes any sense . . .

Please and thank you, of course. You guys are great!!!

Hmm, not sure if this was seen . . .

I'm a-workin' on it, RG! Right now!

 

[Goober]

Great, thanks!

Now, you coulda said that over our MSN Convo, but this way, we get extra posts, right?

1) You posted your question in here, and it needed to be answered in here.

2) It's related to this thread, and thus deserves a post in here.

3) It notified the other Av-creators that I'm working on it.

4) I'm almost finished it.

6) You did say "neon", so that is my first concept avatar. You did want other things, however, so I'll get workin' on other av's.

I haven't had a chance to play Jak II... Beyond... was $19.99 brand new compared to Jak's $40 price tag, so I got that and loved it. I think I'll check out Kya next though, as it's done by the same team who did Beyond...(iirc)...

Be sure to get Ratchet and Clank I & II as well. Great games.

That one looks good, V2010, but I will look at all your concepts then choose from their, if you don't mind.

Thanks!

@ V2010 - Ok, I took a good, long, 3.5 microsecond look at your design, and I have a couple of modifications. The lettering is fine but I would like it to be inside the leaf, please, smaller, and a darker colour to show up against the leaf. Also, I want the Leaf to be Red again, that red neon shall do, thanks.

Leave the Goober alone, it and its Goober-colour, please.

Last, but not least, the background. I don't really want black, I would prefer maybe ROY. G. BIV, like Håkan Eriksson's a bit, but in neon.

Ya, try that please, and I shall see how it looks.

Thanks, Mate!

OK, I'll look at it tomorrow.

Ooh! A place to discuss avatars

I was working on an avatar showing a cat, some of you may have seen me using it.

Sadly, it looks a little demonic imo and that was never the objective, so I reverted to my shield.

Does anyone have any ideas for how to make the cat look more... social?

 

[stormbind]

Here's my attempt.

For similar reaons, it's unlikely I'll be using it..

 

[Lyonesse]

well its not the same panther but...

 

[FireBall]

Lyonesse: umm.. .still looks a little evil to me...

 

[Lyonesse]

Well the panther isn't really the cuddly kitten you'd find in my home LOL

Can someone make me a nonconformist avaar please? I was thinking since my name here is nonconformist, it can have something to do with revolution.

 

[stormbind]

Heh, this I find amusing
