Heh.

Well, I was curious as to how you found out those pictures of mine were deleted, and what file-type they were.
But that's interesting, too.  

And how is it transparent? Why are some transparent and some not? I figure people make them that way, but how?

[Dragyn]

I can tell they're deleted, 'cuz all I can see in the post where you'd placed them is a big white box saying "This file has been moved or deleted."  

I knew they were .bmp, 'cuz that's what Paint saves them in by default, and that's what you said you'd made them in.

You need a program made for it to make them transparent.  Paint.Net works, as do most.  MSPaint won't, though.  If you'd rather, you could just assign it a random otherwise-unused color as the background, and I could just edit it out sometime, if I use it.

[Faith]

Oh...
When I looked there, they were still visible... >.<

Huh...

What program would you have to use to make an animated image?

[Fox]

FireWorks for me. Flash and PhotoShop are capable, but I find 'em difficult.

Well......shoot. For lack of a better word. EVERY image hosting site I use is down or won't support emotes. So I guess I'll edit this when I don't feel like punching the wall due to the internet's evil.

[Dragyn]

Microsoft .gif animator works.  I know it used to be available for free on the internet, but I don't know if it's still free, or whatever.

Flash is difficult, and I've never worked with PhotoShop, so I'll just take your word on that, Fox.

Never even heard of FireWorks...

[Fox]

It's basically the same thing as Flash, but with less features. You can animate....and that's about it. I tend to just add any sound clips via Movie Maker.

Ah, old memories of hating PhotoBucket. 'Twas a last resort.

Obviously, we have very different emote styles. This is the only one I've had time to make..but I'll try to get some more done.

[Faith]

Heh.  

Yeah... mine look like something out of a child's bed-time story book... >.<
But yours is neat.  


Well, I haven't heard ot any of them...
However, when I've the time, I may try to look those things up.  

I've made a K'os one, but I'm not gonna' put it up 'till later... like when I'm done with it... I want to try to make it animated, if I can figure it out.
And, maybe I'll try to get Paint. net, again, too...

[Dragyn]

Hmm...

[Faith]

Hehe... it sounds like my plans might seem slightly disastrous, or something...  

[Dragyn]

Huh?

[Faith]

Heh.  

I was talking about my plan to make animated emoticons, and your reaction seemed a bit amusing, to me. I guess it was just the way I read it.
Sorry, I say strange things... >.<

Here's mine with PNG transparency





I had a red and orange sigil, too, but it seems to be corrupted.

Nuts.

[Dragyn]

Look good.  I'dve liked to see the other, as well, but so it goes.

There is a disadvantage to .png transparency, though; IE doesn't yet support it.  FF and just about every other browser does, though.

[Faith]

Huh...
Well, not like I have a choice, there, so I guess I don't have to worry.

What does IE do to transparency in images?

What version do you have? Mine supports it. o.O
