Very subtle. I like it.

No, but you should definately replace your original avitar with the new one

 

[xoot]

LOL !!! I messed up my grammar

I will replace the old one with my new.

xoot your avatar should have transparencies so it dosen't have that whit background. I've attached a version of your avatar with transparencies that you can use if you want.

 

[xoot]

Thank you, wdw

What do you use to make transparencies for icons? Iconographer? (sp?)

 

[xoot]

I just use Photoshop.

 

[Bluefusion]

Yeah, nkuvu, what I do (using Photoshop) if it's a relatively similar-colored background (for the image itself) is I select the background with the magic wand, select Inverse, which gets the actual object mostly selected, copy, and paste that onto a new GIF with transparent background. Voila. It works best if you have a large version of your avatar to work with that you can scale down to 50x50 AFTER you're done.

My new one reminds me of microsoft for some reason. It's green and hypnotic...

 

[ksuther]

You need to make the background transparent.

 

[ABassCube]

Can someone make my avatar transparent? I could do it myself, but I don't have Photoshop currently, it's on a disc somewhere and I'm too lazy to find it right now, LOL.

I attached the avatar for anyone who's willing to make it transparent for me. It's not urgent or anything, but if anyone has the time, I'd appreciate it.

Here you go mr.basscube

I have not bothered to look around for an OS X native version, but my favorite tool for this is something simply called Transparency.

With everyone else working on thier avatars I guess it is getting near the time for me to update mine. (The last picture of me is several years old, and I don't have the moustache any more.)
