Slynky - why not use a .gif with transparency?

Been there, tried that. Aliasing on the GIF makes it look "ghosted" around the edges if I just use the symbol. SO, I settled for having it look the way I want it to 50% of the time. After all, being right 50% of the time is just about my average IRL...

Slynky, I made a transparent Version of your avatar (framed of course. )..



Feel free to use it if you wish. (it should be oblivious to any underlying color.)

Cheers!

EDIT: Here's a transparent Version of your original..

There was comment, I'm fairly sure of it.

Durned if I can find the thread though...

Oh, and the bullet is no long on the Search page either.

Thanks David. Seems like we got into this discussion several months back when I tried it and gave up. As I recall, there was ghosting on the edges because of anti-aliasing...then if I got rid of all of the "bad" edging, it looked a bit jagged (as seen in the one you did for me).

So, I had a choice of which I'd rather live with. I decided looking the way I wanted it to 50% of the time (and not being too bad the remaining part of the time) was better than looking at "jaggies" all the time. (I think Abraham Lincoln said that ).

Slynky, it looks like we're Online at the same time.. I guess you didn't notice I edited my Posts to include a transparent Version of your original logo..

It looks like this now..

Why live with 50% when 99% is available?
