**Damien** · 15-03-2004, 20:29

As you can see my avater is not matching the background colour, no matter how much I edited it it stays that darker colour!!!

Can someone make it match the background colour? PLEASE? I'LL give you rep points! Lots of em!

Its also got to be under 15kb ARRGGGHHHH

Can you set the background transparent?

How do you do that? Its gotta be a jppg or gif file under 15kb

Yes you need to set it transparent as MovedGoalPosts said, depends what graphics package our using, I did it the other day with Irfanview, the options tucked out the way but I got there in the end !

me is confused, I use photoshop, ps your avatar looks cool

I have no idea, sorry. Try the software's help and see if transparent backgrund or similar shows up in the help index or search.

**Damien** · 15-03-2004, 20:51

Everytime I try too transparant backing it always ends up white?

Thanks !
I'm not familiar with Photoshop unfortunately, try searching the help for setting a colour transparent or setting a transparent backgrond, unless someone else can jump in who knows.... :o

Edit:- Beat me to it MovedGoalPosts !!!

I don't do a great deal with graphics (note the lack of avatars in my sig!).

Have you tried posting the avatar you have created that say's background is transparent, but displays white. The software may display the image to you that way, else, how does it deal with a background, yet once there is something else behind it, i.e the forum, the white might disappear?

No worries.

Well lets see if I can load this again.

The stupid attatchments thingy here keeps leaving me with an attatchment I can't load and can't delete.

Anyway the secret in Photoshop is to add another layer,fill that with your chosen colour then interchange the layer with the image layer,use magic wand tool and select image,then use magic eraser tool until you have uncovered the new colour.

Incog.
