so how do you get the white of from around the avatar

Catboy · 2004-10-30, 05:58 PM

the avatar has to have a clear layer...

GIF images have a feature where you can select a color to be transparent. So, in your case you create an animated GIF image where the white area has been made transparent.

There is an online GIF editor that will allow you to edit the image and set a transparent color.

That is true. I haven't changed my avatar since I set up my account. I decided to have a little fun for Halloween. The Guinness avatar will be back on Monday.

Good. It just....feels weird. I now assosciate you subconciously with Guiness.

The Guinness avatar is back. This time better than before. The old one was 50x50. The new one is 60x60 and looks better. Now I'm thirsty.

There is no impostoring going on. I have never complained about the size of the avatars here. 60x60 is not too big. I have complained about animated avatars. If I ever put up an animated avatar then you can call me an impostor.

No, I didn't mean it like that. I was not calling you a hypocrite. I just meant that I am used to seeing the 50x50 image, and this one will take some getting used to.

No impostor here. Gilby can verify that my IP address is the same.

I had been meaning to fix up my avatar for a long time. The new version better shows the distinct shape of the Guinness pint glass. It looks better.

Well imaging how much detail you could show in a 1000x1000 image in your signature.
