Well me and my friend ikbis have started making our own sigs with imageshack, and Gimp(parents wont let either of us get photoshop . That's why we changed it to co-begining pixel artist, because im just helping out. Anyways, I think my new sig is pretty cool. What do you think. Oh, and i want the truth is the Molten Stell Halo thing cool or lame?

Looks good, but I have a few small suggestions.

1. Try putting the image on a transparent background instead of white. Make sure to save in PNG format though; GIF doesn't support alpha-transparency (meaning, with GIF, each pixel must be either fully opaque or fully transparent -- with PNG you can use partial transparency, which is good for the shadow effect and for smoothing around the edge of the image).

This adds the problem, though, that Internet Explorer doesn't handle PNG properly (it ignores transparency and puts the image on a solid background). So Firefox and other users will see your image as intended, while IE users will see it as it is now.

You can use GIF, but then you lose the alpha-transparency. The edge of the image may become jaggy, and the shadow will look like crap (on a white background it will look fine, but people on this board all use different themes -- and I don't think any of them have white backgrounds ).

2. The text is jaggy. You should be able to adjust anti-aliasing somewhere; unfortunately, I use Photoshop, so I can't tell you how to do it on GIMP. For Photoshop it's along with font size, style, etc. :-\ It's probably in a similar place for GIMP.

Have fun

Hehe, Yeah... Making it transparent would be cool

Other than that... Perhaps downsize it just a teeny tiny bit

Nice job

Phi, the problem is, when you take an image that was uploaded as anything other than a PNG from the internet, even if you change it, it still has slight variants of the color white, so it's interpreted as a new color. PNG then won't remove it. Everyone should use PNG.

?¿whatta ya mean?

[Slay Mantus]

dont post in old topics...period...
u can see if they r old by seeing where they are on the list of topics and the last post date

[Ferret Overlord]

That and the fact that they're NOT ON THE FIRST PAGE.

Look, Science, you've been posting a lot of repeated posts and topics. Stop it, because we really don't look well upon such things.

Ok, sorry.
