Uhhh why? It has a blue background. I like the clear background.

Talez · Post by **Talez** » 12 Jul 2006 02:58 pm

It is clear.

What I see:

Or does IE still have utterly retarded transparent PNG support?

Ambrose Burnside · Post by **Ambrose Burnside** » 12 Jul 2006 03:00 pm

Yeah, I just checked it in IE and there is no difference between my new and old avatars.

Your one has a white background too Talez.

IE

mxlegend99 · Post by **mxlegend99** » 12 Jul 2006 03:00 pm

My bet is the latter. It's a larger filesize for the PNG... and it's a smaller file.

I'm still confused... why did you ask us to change them?

Because yours has a disgusting jaggy pixelated white border, is my guess.

Talez' ones look fine to me, but then I used Firefox like most discerning folk!

Talez · Post by **Talez** » 12 Jul 2006 03:06 pm

Because yours looks like this to me:

and the aliased white shinyness really detracts from the overall attractiveness of the image.

Maybe your browsers suck. Here's what mine show:

Internet Explorer might not show PNG files properly, but it shows GIF images perfectly fine. And it's a quarter of the size.

mxlegend99 · Post by **mxlegend99** » 12 Jul 2006 03:10 pm

Oh, i put a white outline on it to help with the transparency. I use a different theme then you fellas.

I'll see how it looks minus the outline.

I don't even have IE6 on this machine anymore to check.

MS actually fixed the problem in IE7.

I use the default subBlack board theme and have noticed several gif/images that have a fine white outline look kinda bad on the black background. You don't notice the white outline on lighter background themes.

Talez's images in firefox for me look a lot nicer.

sub black has all the cool icons/buttons, and lestat fixed some colours... everyone should try it again

mxlegend99 · Post by **mxlegend99** » 12 Jul 2006 03:26 pm

I'll have another look at subBlack. Although i much like the lighter colour scheme.

mxlegend99 · Post by **mxlegend99** » 12 Jul 2006 03:29 pm

Nope. Don't like the subBlack colour scheme. Too dark. I removed the white border on my sig... it's not perfect on the black background. But it's improved. PNG's are fucked in Internet Explorer.

mxlegend99 · Post by **mxlegend99** » 12 Jul 2006 03:32 pm

Does this look better on the black backgrounds?

Talez · Post by **Talez** » 12 Jul 2006 03:33 pm

Much!

mxlegend99 · Post by **mxlegend99** » 12 Jul 2006 03:34 pm

Cool. I didn't realise it looked as bad as it did on the black background. I've used this colour scheme since day one LOL.

Mods you should make white the default background. Way easier to read and view pics imo.

Sonic Jam · Post by **Sonic Jam** » 12 Jul 2006 04:11 pm

I use the same theme as MX and it > all.

lestat · Post by **lestat** » 12 Jul 2006 04:39 pm

choice is a wonderful thing.

selfish · Post by **selfish** » 12 Jul 2006 07:49 pm

speaking of choice, why on earth does anyone still use IE?

mxlegend99 · Post by **mxlegend99** » 13 Jul 2006 08:12 am

Because it's simple and does what i want. Browses the net.

BOOMY · Post by **BOOMY** » 13 Jul 2006 02:44 pm

It also scrapes every last nook and cranny of the web, collecting popups, spyware and trojans. God bless it.

Tab browsing FTW!
