Gif Transparency

[[lhomme]]

Hi - I'm just wondering if somebody could make some of my gifs (forum buttons) transparent for me? I would do so myself but aside from my ignorance, all I have is MSPaint... Thanks.

Where are these gifs? i need the file so i can make them trasparent! :D

Can't find a place to attach them, so I uploaded them to my site:

Thanks!

Ok, I have to goto bed soon, then have to go to school, so probably sometime tomorrow, but i'll try to get some done now...

Ummmm....... The files are "not valid Gif file" according to my PSP7.... I think it was because of the zipping them up... I suggest just setting up and html page and just put all of the pictures on the same page (via <img> obvioulsy ;)) then I can just go in and save them all seperatly...

I don't think its the zipping. They were originally bmps. I simply renamed the extensions :rolleyes: - you think you could do a proper conversion as well? Thanks. Doing them tommorow (or the next few days - my new hosting is delayed) is not problem. Thanks again.

It generally worked, since the buttons were really simple.

Yes, but that windows uses the file extension to identify a file doesn't mean it works. The same programs that can display a gif usually also handle bmp.
Rename a .doc to .txt and open it in notepad. :p

Zip the bmp's up and someone can do it for you.

Lol, yes, I think you should do that....Hehehehehe :biggrin2:

He did already ;) Working on it!

Oh. You can rename them back to bmp you mean? That was too advanced for me. :biggrin2:

No I open in Irfanview and rename them gif :p
